    Question

    From which of the following the symbol of chemical is derived?

    1. Shape
    2. Structure
    3. Number of atoms
    4. Name of the atom

    Hint:

    The name of the atom determines the chemical symbol.

    The correct answer is: Name of the atom


      • A chemical symbol is the shortcut representation of an element.
      • The chemical symbols are derived from the name of atoms, their Latin name, the scientists who discovered them, the places they were first found, and many other fields.
      • The chemical symbol has nothing to do with shape, structure, or number of atoms.
