Which element has the letters AU as its chemical symbol?

There is no element with the symbols ' AU'. 'A' is Not used. 'U' is Uranium . However, I think you mean 'Au '. (Aurum, which is the Latin name for Gold). NB When writing elemental symbols , Single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL Letter. Double letter symbols are , first letter is a CAPITAL letter, and the second letter is small/lower case'. Since gold is a double letter symbol it is written as 'Au '. NOT 'AU'.
