Question

What is the significance of the symbols of an element

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is not possible to write the name of the whole element in a equation and it also makes balancing of the equations difficult. Even, when we are writing the ionic charge of the entity we can only write those charges on a symbol.

So,we always use symbols of a element in a chemical reaction

Answer 2

Answer:

A chemical symbol is a shorthand method of representing an element. Instead of writing out the name of an element, we represent an element name with one or two letters.
