An element's symbol is a one- or two-letter abbreviation derived from its name, often based on Latin or Greek roots. For example, the symbol for gold is "Au," from the Latin "aurum." These symbols are used universally in the Periodic Table to represent elements in chemical equations and formulas. Each symbol is unique to its element, ensuring clarity in scientific communication.
