How elements gets its symbol?

Answer 1

the elements get their symbols through the number of protons (or electrons) which is the atomic number. The mass number comes form the number of neutrons + protons =] electrons have no relative mass (0.0005(zero))

Answer 2

From their (Latin) names or scientist's names:

O - Oxygenium

H - Hydrogenium

S - Sulfur

Au - Aurum

Ag - Argentium

scientists:

Rutherfordium

Mendelevium

Einsteinium

etc

Answer 3

Elements get their symbols mainly from their names. This is not always the case though. Sometimes it is from Latin etc.

As an example, Pb is the symbol for Lead and where the name plumber comes from and is Latin. Ag for silver and Au for gold similarly. S for sulfur and O for oxygen are a bit more obvious. The names these days are set internationally by IUPAC. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists.

Answer 4

Elements get their symbols either from their name (e.g., H for Hydrogen) or from their Latin name (e.g., Au for Gold, from "Aurum"). The symbol is typically derived from one or two letters of the element's name, making it easier to identify and represent elements in chemical formulas and equations.
