Many elements were known and named in prehistory or in very early times and their names - or variations - are in use now. In several cases, we use an English name but the symbol is based on the Latin name - for example gold is Au (Aurum).
Names for newly discovered elements have to be approved by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). According to IUPAC rules, elements can be named after a mythological concept, a mineral, a place or country, a property, or a scientist.

What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
What is the different between the chemical name and the chemical formula for a compound?
The chemical name refers to the full name of a compound, while the chemical formula represents the composition of elements in that compound using symbols and subscripts. The chemical formula provides information about the elements and their ratios in the compound, while the chemical name typically includes the names of the elements and possibly other descriptive terms.
What are the names of the different protons and neutrons in uranium?
The individual protons and neutrons are basically indistinguishable; they don't have different names.
What elements have English names?

What are the names of the chemicals in nitroglycerin?
Nitroglycerin is its own chemical substance (C3H4N3O9). It is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.
What are all the names of the periodic table and what do they mean?
These names are the names of chemical elements.
What are the names for a pereodic table?
These names are the names of chemical elements.
How are chemical names and formulas Related?
Chemical names and formulas are related in that chemical names provide information about the elements present in a compound and their arrangement, while chemical formulas provide a concise way to represent the elements and their ratios in a compound. A chemical name can be converted to a chemical formula using the periodic table to determine the elements present and their symbols, which are then combined based on the naming rules of the compound.
What is the periodic table filled with?
It is filled with the names (or chemical symbols) of elements.
What are the names of all the elements that start with the letter w?
There are no chemical elements that begin with the letter w. There are chemical elements that begin with all letters except J, Q and W.
What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
What of these statements is true of chemical symbols?
Chemical symbols are representative abbreviations for the names of elements. They are typically one or two letters long and are used to identify elements in the periodic table and chemical formulas.
What is the abbreation of He on the periodic table?
He is the chemical symbol for Helium. In the periodic table we use the chemical symbols to identify elements easily because some elements have rather long names.
Why is gold labeled Au on a periodic table of the elements?
The symbol "Au" for gold comes from its Latin name "aurum." The names of chemical elements are often derived from their Latin names.
What are the names of the elements in AlPO4?
The elements in AlPO4 are aluminum (Al), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O).
What is the names and chemical symbol for the elements that correspond to the atomic number 10?
10 Neon (Ne)
What are the elements in MgNO32?
Since you already have the chemical formula of the compound, it is not difficult to make up what elements it is made up from. The elements are magnesium (Mg), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O). The hard part comes when you are given a more unfamiliar chemical name like tetrachloromethane, names like limestone and trade names.
