Question

X Suggest why scientists use chemical symbols.​

Answer 1

Answer:

As you learned, scientists standardized the short-hand way we represent elements, by their chemical symbol. One of the main reasons this was developed was because using letters was the easiest way to represent the elements. Another reason that we use chemical symbols is to allow us to write chemical formulas easily.

Answer 2

Answer:

Scientists use symbols because it's easier to remember any element or compound from symbols than from formulae.
