A question has been provided to us

We need to find the solution to the question

The symbols of the elements are the one or two letter “abbreviations” of the elements used in modern chemistry. Examples are Si for Silicon, Fe for Iron, K for Potassium and S for Sulfur. As we can see from just with these examples it doesn't always seem to make a lot of sense, K for Potassium, Na for Sodium.

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is the symbols of the elements are the one or two letter “abbreviations” of the elements used in modern chemistry.
