What are the bases of making symbols?
There are mainly three ways of making symbols :1.By using the first letter of the name of the elements.2.If the name of two or more elements begins with the same letter,the second letter of their name is also taken with first letter.3.Symbols are made by using the letters of the name of elements in other languages also.
Why is the symbol for oxygen an O?
Oxygens first letter is O so therefore, it was given the symbol "O". That is the worst answer ever. (no offense) Octopus has the letter O it its symbol O, olives first letter is O was it given the symbol O No? It is O because O3 was tooken by ozone so they gave O to Oxygen. I don't make the rules so it's not my fault. Or the first answer is good too. Whatev you like
Why must some chemical elements have two letters rather than one?
The reason why some element symbols have two letters instead of one is that some elements start with the same letter. It would be very difficult to distinguish elements if two both had the same symbol. For example, Carbon and Calcium both start with the letter "C", but Calcium's symbol is "Ca". Also, some, like Iron's "Fe", were named a long time ago, and chemists had different names for them.
Of the first 103 elements how many have two letters in their symbols?
Not all elements can be identified by a single letter. For example, Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl) both start with a "C" and have "C"'s in their symbols. Another letter had to be added to distinguish the two. Also, the Periodic Table has over 100 elements and there would not be enough letters to cover them all if they were only single letters.
Why are elements named with symbols?
The name of an element depends on who discovered the element and when. Often the names have roots in other languages such as Greek or Latin. Some elements are named after the person who discovered the element or also after other famous scientists to honor that person.For many elements, the symbol is just the first letter (or first two letters) of the name of the element. Note that the symbol for some elements is taken from the name in another language (Greek and Latin origins quite common) and is not the first two letters of the element's name in English.See the Web Links for information about each elements' name! Click on any element in the periodic table and scroll down to see how and why it was named that way.Some examples:hydrogen, symbol H, is from the Greek words hudôr(water) and gennan (generate)oxygen, symbol, O, is from the Greek words oxus(acid) and gennan (generate)carbon, symbol C, is from the Latin carbo(coal)lead, symbol Pb, is for plumbum, which is "lead" in Latingold, symbol Au, is for aurum, which is "gold" in Latiniron, symbol Fe, is for ferrum, which is "iron" in Latinsilver, symbol Ag, is for argentum, which is "silver" in Latinmercury, symbol Hg, is for hydrargyrum, which is for "liquid silver" in Latinpolonium, symbol Po, is named after Poland, the home country of Marie and Pierre Curie, the people who discovered itcurium, symbol Cm, after Pierre and Marie Curie for their contributions to chemistry (Curium was discovered by G. T. Seaborg)lawrencium, symbol Lr, after Ernest Lawrenceberyllium, symbol B, after Berylli, California where much research was done on discovering new elements
What is the north side gang symbol?
The North Side Gang symbol usually includes elements such as the letter "N" or the word "North" incorporated into the design. The symbol may also feature imagery or colors associated with the North Side Gang's identity or history. The specific symbol may vary depending on the region or subgroup of the gang.
What is the Periodic table of elements symbol AU?
the element Au is Aurum which is also known as gold.
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.
Who is resonsible for the symobl for pi?

What is the symbol for elements?
There is no symbol for "element", other than using a placeholder. For example, if you want to refer to the oxides of group II metals, you might use the generic formula "MO." Some common placeholders are M and X for a generic metal and nonmetal (especially a halogen) respectively. A and B are also pretty common for any kind of generic element.
What is a FIFO array?
