Ans fast pls!!

Answer 1

Heya mate...❤❤...
It cannot be written as S because S has been chosen as a symbol for Sulphur So, They have to take Sodium's latin name for its symbol...
Hope it helps you my friend ....

Answer 2

the symbols of element are derived by three formula
1)the first letter of the element's name
2)the first letter of the element's name in capital with the second letter in small
3)the first letter of the element's Latin name.

this is done to avoid confusion.
hence sodium's symbol is Na and not S
