Why do some elements don't have the first letter of there symbol?
Your question is a but unclear.However if you mean why do some elements in the Periodic Table have "symbols" that appear different form their names?Then the answer is that elements have been discovered over a long period of time (some in ancient times and some in modern times) and while there is now an agreed procedure for naming elements (yes new heavy ones are still being discovered/made), in the past the naming practice was not standardized and indeed may have used a different language.For instance the symbol for the element Gold is (Au) - this is because gold was known form ancient times and the ancient names is therefore used - the Latin for Gold is aurumand this is where the "Au" comes from.Similarly the symbol for the element Lead (Pb) - is because Lead was know to the ancients and the names comes from the French plomb, from Latin plumbum, from Ancient Greek μόλυβδος (molybdos, "lead").There are similar reasons for the other examples to be found in the periodic table.
