Answer:

many chemical symbols of elements in the periodic table have derived from their latin names, as iron's latin name is ferrum and chemical symbol is Fe.

example- silver - argentum - Ag

                gold -aurum      - au

                sodium- natrium - Na

many element's symbols come from their original name

examples

bromine- br

chlorine- cl

these symbols remain same in compounds.

hope it helps
