What is the symbol for FE in the periodic table?

No such symbol as 'FE'. This could be misunderstood as 'F' Fluorine and 'E' an unknown element. If you mean 'Fe'. , then it is Iron. 'Fe' is from the Latin word for iron, which is 'Ferrum'. NB When writing elemental symbols. Single letter symnols are ALWAYS a Capital letter. Two letter symbols are always writeen as ; first letter is a CAPITAL letter, and second letter is always small/lower case. This is the international standard, and as shown in the Periodic Table. Hence iron is 'Fe' NOT 'FE'. There is no element with a single capital letter 'E'.
