Why is it necessary to have a second letter in the symbol for elements?
Having a second letter in the symbol for elements is necessary to distinguish elements with similar symbols. It helps identify the specific element and avoid confusion when referencing or working with different elements.
Why is the second letter written in lowercase on the periodic table?
The second letter of an element's symbol is written in lowercase to distinguish it from the first letter, which is always uppercase. This convention helps to clearly identify the element and avoid confusion, especially for elements that have similar names or symbols. For example, the symbol for carbon is "C," while the symbol for calcium is "Ca." This capitalization system ensures consistency and clarity in the representation of chemical elements.
Why does the element caesium have the symbol Cs rather than Ca?
Ca was already being used for calcium. Also, the second letter of the abbreviation is generally chosen to suggest the name of the element rather than being the literal second letter in the name.

What is the symbol above number 3 at keyboard?
The symbol '#' goes by various names. In Unicode tables, it is officially known as the "number sign", which follows popular usage in the US and Canada. In many other English-speaking countries, it is called the "hash". In the US also, it is sometimes called a "pound sign" as it was historically used as a unit symbol for weight in pounds. That sometimes causes confusion with the currency symbol, £, which is used for pound sterling in the rest of the world. Because of all that confusion, engineers tried to coin the name "octothorpe" for this symbol, but that never caught on, for obvious reasons.
