No single scientist has devised the symbols of the elements. An organization called the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has determined the symbols of the elements on the Periodic Table.

How do you write chemical symbols of compound?

Chemical symbols for compounds are written by combining the chemical symbols of the elements in the compound, along with subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element present. For example, water (H2O) is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The chemical symbols are always listed with the element that appears first in the compound listed first.


Who was the first scientist to question the idea that atom were uncutable?

The first scientist to question the idea that atoms were indivisible was John Dalton, an English chemist, in the early 19th century. Dalton proposed that atoms were not actually indivisible, as previously believed, but rather could be rearranged in chemical reactions.


What are the ways of writing of the symbols of elements in the periodic table?

The chemical symbols are approved by IUPAC; symbols are derived from the name of the chemical element in Latin, frequently the first two letters.
