1. What are the rules followed when a symbol
is fixed for an element?
Answers
Answer:
The first rule for writing symbols for elements is to capitalize the first letter of the symbol. If you observe the periodic table, you'll see there is no symbol with a lowercase first letter. The second is that you cannot have more than two letters for a symbol. Although there are symbols with three letters, it is just because the scientists haven't decided it is a real element. Finally, the second letter can't be capitalized (if there is a second letter).

Answer:
All of these 118 elements on the periodic table have chemical symbols represented by the first letter or two of the name of the element. If the chemical symbol has two letters the first letter is always capitalized and the second letter is written in lowercase.
