this lesson you learned that a chemical symbol is a shorthand way to represent an element and that each element on the periodic table has a unique chemical symbol. Chemical symbols are used to standardize the 'language of chemistry' and to identify elements and atoms in a chemical formula easily.23-Dec-2015
