Question
Chapter 2, Problem 3STP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The element paired with the wrong chemical symbol should be identified.
Concept Introduction: The information about the chemical composition of any substance cannot be defined by the common names of the substances. So, the chemical symbol is used to represent an element whereas the chemical formula represents a compound. For a chemical symbol, a one- or two-letter designation of an element is used where the first letter is always capitalized followed by lower-case letters.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 3STP
Correct answer: potassium, P.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
Potassium, P is paired with the wrong symbol. The Latin name of potassium is kalium so the correct chemical symbol of potassium is K.
Conclusion
Reasons for incorrect options:
Sulfur, S, nitrogen, N, and calcium, Ca are paired with correct chemical symbols as the initial letters of the word are used as the symbol.
