An element's shorthand is its chemical symbol. Each chemical element has a one- or two-letter symbol. Sometimes these letters come from the name of the element. Hydrogen is H. Helium is He. Carbon is C. Uranium is U. Sometimes the letters come from the "old" name of the element. This is particularly true of elements that were known long ago (though they were not recognized as 'elements' as we know them today). Gold is Au (from the Latin word aurum). Tungsten is W (from the German wolfram). Mercury is Hg (from the Latinized Greek hydrargyrum). Iron is Fe (from the Latin ferrum). It is possible to identify elements by number. Each element has a unique atomic number that is derived from the number of protons in its nucleus (and only that number), but most references use the chemical shorthand of the chemical symbol. A link is provided to the Wikipedia list of the elements. The atomic numbers are there as well.

What is the shorthand symbol for 'all'?
"All" is long lying down curved stroke with an "Ä" stoke at the left end of the beginning stroke. Make sense?
Of all of the elements on the periodic table which has the shortest name?
The element with the shortest name on the periodic table is Tin, with the chemical symbol "Sn".
Can you write the electron configuration and the noble gas electron configuration shorthand for any of the elements?
Yes it is possible to write the noble gas configuration of all elements, though it is not possible to list all of them here.
How many elements' chemical symbol does not correspond with their name?
There are no elements whose symbol does not match their name -- in some language! The elements known to the ancients all match their latin names: Pb = plumbum = lead. Sn = stannum = tin. Cu = cuprum = copper. 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? Sb = stibium = antimony One element has a symbol that matches its German name: W = Wolfram = tungsten I guess that makes about 10 elements whose symbol does not match their English name. Hope I have not forgotten any!
What is the only letter not on the periodic table as a symbol or part oof the symbol?
The only letter not found on the periodic table as a symbol or part of a symbol is the letter "J." All other letters of the alphabet are represented either as individual symbols for elements or within the symbols of various elements.
What is the shorthand symbol for 'all'?
"All" is long lying down curved stroke with an "Ä" stoke at the left end of the beginning stroke. Make sense?
Who gave each the shorthand to each element?
The shorthand (or symbol) to each element was proposed by different people and is not possible to list out all the names.
What is the shorthand symbol for every?
The shorthand symbol for "every" is often represented by the universal quantifier "∀" in mathematical logic and set theory. This symbol denotes that a certain statement applies to all members of a given set. In other contexts, "every" can simply be represented by the term itself or by using "each" or "all."
Represented by a symbol all are found on the periodic table?
elements
Does nitrogen has any chemical symbol?
Yes, all elements have a chemical symbol. For nitrogen, it is N.
What are all the elements and symbols in baking powder?
the symbol for it is NaHCO3
Of all of the elements on the periodic table which has the shortest name?
The element with the shortest name on the periodic table is Tin, with the chemical symbol "Sn".
What is the name and symbol of all elements on the periodic table that exists as liquids in normal conditions?
Some elements that exist as liquids at normal conditions include: Mercury (Hg): Symbol Hg Bromine (Br): Symbol Br These elements have melting and boiling points below room temperature, making them liquids under normal conditions.
How do you write 1500000 short hand?
Well, honey, to write 1,500,000 in shorthand, you'd typically use the symbol "M" for million. So, your shorthand version would be "1.5M". But hey, if you're feeling fancy, you could always throw in some commas and write it as "1,500K". Just remember, shorthand is all about getting to the point - ain't nobody got time for all those zeros!
Can you write the electron configuration and the noble gas electron configuration shorthand for any of the elements?
Yes it is possible to write the noble gas configuration of all elements, though it is not possible to list all of them here.

How do some elements get their symbol on the periodic table of elements?
All elements get their symbols from their names. The only real rules are that the symbol should be no more than two letters and should be unique; other than that, just about any abbreviation for the name can be used. In a few cases, the name the symbol is derived from is in a language other than English... usually Latin. This is the reason for symbols like Na, K, Fe, Cu, Ag, Sn, Pb, and others where the letters in the abbreviation may not even appear in the English name of the element.
