Chemical symbols are these days given 1-, 2- or 3-letter symbols based on some letters in their name or name in Latin. For example H is Hydrogen, Ca is calcium and Uuo is Ununoctium. Or, from the Latin names, Fe is Iron, K is Potassium and Ag is Silver. It appears that different symbols were used in the past, rather like diagrams that are used for the planets or male and female symbols.
What else can I help you with?
What chemical are used to represent element?
Chemical symbols represent chemical elements.
What is the generalizations of naming elements and how do you write the symbol of elements?
The rules for naming chemical elements and for chemical symbols are established by IUPAC; see this link.
What are the chemical symbols for the elements nitrogen and phosphorus?
Nitrogen:N AND phophorus:K
How do you write chemical symbols of compound?
Chemical symbols for compounds are written by combining the chemical symbols of the elements in the compound, along with subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element present. For example, water (H2O) is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The chemical symbols are always listed with the element that appears first in the compound listed first.
What does notation mean in chemistry?
You think probable to chemical symbols of elements, chemical formulas, etc.
Where do the symbols of elements derived?
Symbols of chemical elements are derived from the chemical name.

Why are chemical symbols used in chemical equations instead of the elements name?
Because they are shorter.
