Explanation of Solution

Every element in nature has been given its own symbol, which is a shorthand method for representing the element. It is an easy way to represent the element by a symbol instead of writing out the name of an element. The symbol of the element can be represented by one or two letters. For two-letter symbols, only the first letter is capitalized.

The symbols for the following elements are based on the original Latin or Greek name.

    Sl. No.NameSymbol

    3.SilverAg
    4.GoldAu
