Why are the names of the elements represented in symbols?
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.
Why are some elements symbols very different from their names?
With the same number of protons, the number of neutrons could be different. That’s why we have isotopes. Those isotopes could have different properties. It is why we have to give them different names and symbols in order to avoid confusion between them.
