Several elements have symbols that do not correspond to their names. For example, sodium (Na) derives from the Latin name "natrium," and potassium (K) comes from "kalium." Similarly, tungsten is represented by the symbol "W," which comes from its German name, "Wolfram." These discrepancies often arise from historical naming conventions and the influence of different languages.

Au = aurum = gold Ag = argentum = silver Hg = hydrargyrum = mercury A few more recently discovered elements also match their latin names: Na = natrium = sodium K = kalium = potassium -- actually this name originally derives from the Arabic "al kali" -- recognize it?

To determine if the symbol and name for an ion are given correctly, you need to compare the provided symbol to the standard chemical notation and verify that it aligns with the corresponding name of the ion. For example, if the symbol is "Na⁺," it should be associated with the name "sodium ion." If both elements match accurately, then they are correctly identified; if not, there is an error.

Why do some elements have names and symbol that do not match their English names?
Because there are languages other than English, and elements have different names in those languages. Some of the symbols are taken from those languages instead. Latin is probably the most common; it's responsible for Fe, Na, K, Cu, Ag, Au, Sn, Sb, and Pb (at least... there may be a few others I missed). Tungsten is called Wolfram in some countries, and its symbol W comes from that name.
