Give the chemical symbol or name for each of the following elements, as appropriate: (a) rhenium, (b) tungsten, (c) caesium, (d) hydrogen, (e) indium, (f) As, $(\mathrm{g}) \mathrm{Xe},(\mathbf{h}) \mathrm{Kr},(\mathbf{i}) \mathrm{Te},$ (j) Ge.

Key Concepts

Chemical Symbols

Chemical symbols are the standardized one- or two-letter abbreviations used to represent chemical elements. They provide a concise, universal language that allows scientists to quickly identify and work with elements in equations, formulas, and the periodic table.

Periodic Table

The periodic table is a systematic arrangement of chemical elements organized by increasing atomic number and similar chemical properties. It serves as a fundamental tool for understanding element relationships, predicting chemical behavior, and identifying both element names and their corresponding symbols.

Element Nomenclature

Element nomenclature refers to the standardized system of naming chemical elements, which often relies on historical names or Latin roots. This system ensures consistency across the scientific community, allowing elements to be uniquely identified by their names and, in turn, by their chemical symbols.

Transcript

00:01 We have the periodic table of elements, and we have 10 examples of where we're given the name of the element, or we're given the chemical symbol of the element.

00:10 Well, we want to, for the ones that we are given the name of, we want to go ahead and find out the symbol.

00:15 And for the ones we're given the symbol, we want to find out the name.

00:18 So we can just simply use our periodic table to find these things.

00:22 So for the first one, we have, is renium.

00:24 And renium on the periodic table, i'll go ahead and take a look at my marker here.

00:28 You're going to find it right here.

00:31 Rhenium is right here, so therefore its chemical symbol is going to be r -e.

00:37 And then next up is tungsten.

00:39 Tungsten is a little weird one because, as you would expect, you probably think that its chemical symbol starts with a t, but it actually starts with a w.

00:47 It's right next to renium here.

00:49 So tung -tung's chemical symbol is going to be w.

00:53 Next one up is going to be sessium.

00:55 And sessium is a little bit further away from the other two chemical, from the two elements that we found, it's actually going to be here in the alkali metal, and the alkaline metals here, cessium.

01:07 Chemical symbol is going to be cs.

01:11 And next one, this is one we probably already know.

01:14 It's hydrogen.

01:14 It's going to be right here at the very top.

01:17 It's going to, its chemical symbol, is going to be an h.

01:21 So h for hydrogen.

01:23 It's very common.

01:24 We can't forget that one.

01:25 And then number five, the last one we have, where we've given the name, it's going to be indium.

01:30 In indian, it's going to be here, an i -n.

01:35 So it's chemical symbol is going to be i -n.

01:37 I know the name's a little bit hard to actually even read on the screen here, but pull out your own periodic table.

01:44 If you have one or take a look at your textbooks periodic table, and the name should be a little bit clear.

01:50 So those are the ones that we're giving the chemical, or they're given the names of the element.

01:54 Next, we're given the symbols and we want to go ahead and write out the name.

01:58 So here we have a -s.

02:00 And as stands for arsenic...
