They are the abbreviation of the name of the element. Some of the names are taken from the original Roman names (e.g. gold=Aurium=Au), the accepted English name (e.g. Aluminum=Al) or the name of a famous person or place (e.g. Einstein=Einsteinium=Es). There are some like Tungsten=W (for Wolfram) that require a knowledge of the history of the material's discovery.
No, "aw" is not an element. It is a two-letter combination of the letters "a" and "w," but it does not represent any chemical element on the periodic table.
The letters in a Lewis Dot Structure represent the symbol of the element. Each element is represented by a unique letter, such as H for hydrogen or O for oxygen. These letters help to identify the specific atoms in the structure.
They are the symbols for the elements . Often they are some of the letters of the English name.For example, Si means Silicon. Silver cannot be Si as well. Therefore, we use the Latin translation, Argentium, to create Ag.
The letters are called Symbols. They represent elements on periodic table.
The letter "i" does not represent any specific element on the periodic table. The elements on the periodic table are typically represented by one or two letter abbreviations.

The letter (or letters) represents the abbreviation for that element, i.e. it represents the symbol used to represent that element.
The letters are called Symbols. They represent elements on periodic table.
The sign or abbreviation to represent an element is called an "atomic symbol", and there is a distinct one for each element. Every atomic symbol begins with a capital letter, which may constitute the entire symbol but is usually followed by a lower case letter.
The letter "i" does not represent any specific element on the periodic table. The elements on the periodic table are typically represented by one or two letter abbreviations.
