Chapter 2, Problem 2.82P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The symbol of Phosphorus should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In periodic table, symbols are the code of the chemical elements. Every element has chemical symbol represents by one letter or two letters which is taken from initials of name of the element. In case of two letters, first letter is capitalized and second letter should be small.

Answer to Problem 2.82P

The chemical symbol of phosphorus is P.

Explanation of Solution

Different symbols are given to different elements in the periodic table to identify the particular element.

Symbol represents by one letter or two letters which is taken from initials of name of the element. In case of two letters, first letter is capitalized and second letter should be small.

Still there are confusing elements in the periodic table, for example: symbol for sodium is Na which is taken from its Latin name natrium and symbol of gold is Au which is taken from its Latin name aurum.

Thus, symbol of phosphorus is P.
