Answer:
Each element is given its own chemical symbol.
Explanation:
Each element is given its own chemical symbol, like H for hydrogen or O for oxygen. Chemical symbols are usually one or two letters long. Every chemical symbol starts with a capital letter, with the second letter written in lower case. For example, Mg is the correct symbol for magnesium, but mg, mG and MG are wrong.

Explanation:
The first word of the name of the element will be capital.If it contains 2 letters then second will be lower case.

C for Carbon.
Ar for Argon.
Some elements will be written in their Latin name because the material was known in ancient times.

Iron =Fe which means Ferrum in Latin.
