Chemistry, like any science, requires precision. The system for presenting data in this area of knowledge has been developed over centuries, and the current standard today is an optimized structure containing all the necessary information for further theoretical work with each specific element.
When writing formulas and equations, it is extremely inconvenient to use integers, and today one or two letters are used for this purpose - the chemical symbols of the elements.
Story
In the ancient world, as well as in the Middle Ages, scientists used symbolic images to represent various elements, but these signs were not standardized. Only by the 13th century were attempts made to systematize the symbols of substances and elements, and from the 15th century, newly discovered metals began to be designated by the first letters of their names. A similar naming strategy is used in chemistry to this day.
Current state of the naming system
Today, more than one hundred and twenty chemical elements are known, some of which are extremely difficult to find in nature. It is not surprising that back in the middle of the 19th century, science knew about the existence of only 63 of them, and there was neither a single naming system nor an integral system for presenting chemical data.
The last problem was solved in the second half of the same century by the Russian scientist D.I. Mendeleev, relying on the unsuccessful attempts of his predecessors. The naming process continues today - there are several elements with numbers from 119 and higher, conventionally designated in the table by the Latin abbreviation of their serial number. The pronunciation of the symbols of chemical elements of this category is carried out according to the Latin rules for reading numerals: 119 - ununenniy (literally “one hundred and nineteenth”), 120 - unbiniliy (“one hundred and twentieth”) and so on.
Most of the elements have their own names, derived from Latin, Greek, Arabic, and German roots, in some cases reflecting the objective characteristics of substances, and in others acting as unmotivated symbols.
Etymology of some elements
As mentioned above, some names and symbols of chemical elements are based on objectively observable characteristics.
The name glow-in-the-dark phosphorus comes from the Greek phrase “to bring light.” When translated into Russian, quite a lot of “telling” names are revealed: chlorine - “greenish”, bromine - “foul-smelling”, rubidium - “dark red”, indium - “indigo-colored”. Since the chemical symbols of elements are given in Latin letters, the direct connection of the name with the substance for a Russian speaker usually goes unnoticed.
There are also more subtle naming associations. Thus, the name selenium comes from the Greek word meaning “Moon”. This happened because in nature this element is a satellite of tellurium, the name of which in Greek also means “Earth”.
Niobium is also named in a similar way. According to ancient Greek mythology, Niobe is the daughter of Tantalus. The chemical element tantalum was discovered earlier and its properties are similar to niobium - thus, the logical “father-daughter” connection was projected onto the “relationships” of chemical elements.
Moreover, it was not by chance that tantalum received its name in honor of a famous mythological character. The fact is that obtaining this element in its pure form was fraught with great difficulties, which is why scientists turned to the phraseological unit “Tantalum flour”.
Another interesting historical fact is that the name platinum literally translates as “silver,” i.e. something similar, but not as valuable, as silver. The reason is that this metal melts much more difficult than silver, and therefore did not find use for a long time and was not of particular value.
General principle for naming elements
When looking at the periodic table, the first thing that catches your eye is the names and symbols of the chemical elements. It is always one or two Latin letters, the first of which is capital. The choice of letters is determined by the Latin name of the element. Despite the fact that the roots of words come from ancient Greek, Latin, and other languages, according to the naming standard, Latin endings are added to them.
It is interesting that most of the symbols will be intuitive to a Russian speaker: aluminum, zinc, calcium or magnesium can be easily remembered by a student the first time. The situation is more complicated with those names that differ in the Russian and Latin versions. It may take a long time for a student to remember that silicon is silicium and mercury is hydrargyrum. Nevertheless, you will have to remember this - the graphic representation of each element is oriented towards the Latin name of the substance, which will appear in chemical formulas and reactions as Si and Hg, respectively.
To remember such names, it is useful for students to do exercises like: “Match the symbol of a chemical element and its name.”
Other naming methods
The names of some elements originated from Arabic and were “stylized” into Latin. For example, sodium gets its name from a root meaning “bubbling matter.” Arabic roots can also be traced in the names of potassium and zirconium.
The German language also had its influence. The names of elements such as manganese, cobalt, nickel, zinc, and tungsten come from it. The logical connection is not always obvious: for example, nickel is an abbreviation for the word meaning “copper devil.”
In rare cases, the names were translated into Russian in the form of tracing paper: hydrogenium (literally “giving birth to water”) turned into hydrogen, and carboneum into carbon.
Names and place names
More than a dozen elements are named after various scientists, including Albert Einstein, Dmitry Mendeleev, Enrico Fermi, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Marie Curie and others.
Some names come from other proper names: names of cities, states, countries. For example: moscovium, dubnium, europium, tennessine. Not all toponyms will seem familiar to a Russian speaker: it is unlikely that a person without cultural preparation will recognize in the word nihonium the self-name of Japan - Nihon (lit.: Land of the Rising Sun), and in hafnia - the Latin version of Copenhagen. Finding out even the name of your native country in the word ruthenium is not the easiest task. Nevertheless, Russia is called Ruthenia in Latin, and the 44th chemical element is named after it.
The names of cosmic bodies also appear in the periodic table: the planets Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ceres. In addition to the names of characters from ancient Greek mythology (Tantalum, Niobium), there are also Scandinavian ones: thorium, vanadium.
Periodic table
In the periodic table that is familiar to us today, named after Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev, the elements are presented in rows and periods. In each cell, a chemical element is designated by a chemical symbol, next to which other data is presented: its full name, serial number, distribution of electrons across layers, relative atomic mass. Each cell has its own color, which depends on whether the s-, p-, d- or f- element is highlighted.
Principles of recording
When writing isotopes and isobars, the mass number is placed at the top left of the element symbol - the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In this case, the atomic number, which is the number of protons, is placed on the lower left.
The charge of the ion is written on the top right, and on the same side below the number of atoms is indicated. Symbols for chemical elements always begin with a capital letter.
National recording options
The Asia-Pacific region has its own variants of writing the symbols for chemical elements, based on local writing methods. The Chinese notation system uses radical signs followed by characters in their phonetic meaning. Symbols for metals are preceded by the sign “metal” or “gold”, gases - with the radical “steam”, non-metals - with the hieroglyph “stone”.
In European countries there are also situations where the signs of elements when recorded differ from those recorded in international tables. For example, in France, nitrogen, tungsten and beryllium have their own names in the national language and are indicated by corresponding symbols.
Finally
When studying at school or even a higher educational institution, it is not at all necessary to memorize the contents of the entire periodic table. You should keep in mind the chemical symbols of the elements that are most often found in formulas and equations, and look up less commonly used ones from time to time on the Internet or in a textbook.
However, in order to avoid errors and confusion, you need to know how the data in the table is structured, in which source to find the required data, and clearly remember which element names differ in the Russian and Latin versions. Otherwise, you may accidentally mistake Mg for manganese and N for sodium.
To get practice at the initial stage, do the exercises. For example, provide the chemical element symbols for a random sequence of names from the periodic table. As you gain experience, everything will fall into place and the question of memorizing this basic information will disappear by itself.
Part I
1. Horizontally, D.I. Mendeleev’s table is divided into periods, which are divided into:
a) small, these are periods – 1, 2, 3;
b) large, these are periods - 4, 5, 6, 7.
2. Vertically, D.I. Mendeleev’s table is divided into groups, each of which is divided into:

Topic: Initial chemical ideas
Lesson: Chemical Element Symbols
1. History of the development of the language of chemistry
Back in the Middle Ages, during the time of alchemy, various signs were used to designate substances, mainly metals. After all, the main goal of alchemists was to obtain gold from various metals. Therefore, each of them used their own notation system.
In the 19th century There was a need to use symbols that were understandable to all scientists. And John Dalton was one of the first to propose such symbolism. But his notation was inconvenient to use.
Rice. 1. John Dalton and his system of naming chemical elements
2. System of designation of chemical elements by J. Ya. Berzelius
The modern system of chemical signs was proposed at the beginning of the 19th century. Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius. The scientist proposed to designate chemical elements the first letter of their Latin name. In those days, all scientific articles were published in Latin; it was generally accepted and understandable for all scientists.
For example, the chemical element oxygen (in Latin Oxygenium) received the designation O.
And the chemical element hydrogen (Hydrogenium) is H. If the names of several elements began with the same letter, then the second or one of the subsequent letters of the name was indicated in the symbol of the element. For example, mercury (Hydrargyrum) is designated Hg.
Please note that the first letter of the symbol of a chemical element is always capitalized; if there is a second letter, then it is lowercase. It is necessary to remember not only the names of the elements and their symbols, but also the pronunciation, i.e. how these symbols are read.
There are no specific rules for pronunciating the signs of chemical elements. They must be learned by heart. The signs of some chemical elements are pronounced in the same way as the corresponding letter: oxygen - “o”, sulfur - “es”, phosphorus - “pe”, nitrogen - “en”, carbon - “ce”.
The signs of other elements are pronounced in the same way as the names of the elements themselves: “sodium”, “potassium”, “chlorine”, “fluorine”.
The pronunciation of some signs corresponds to their Latin name: silicon - “silicium”, mercury - “hydrargyrum”, copper - “cuprum”, iron - “ferrum”.

3. The meaning of the signs of chemical elements
The sign of a chemical element has several meanings. Firstly, it refers to all the atoms of a given element. Secondly, the sign of a chemical element can designate one or more atoms of a given element. For example, the entry O can mean "the chemical element oxygen" or "one atom of oxygen."
To designate several atoms of a given chemical element, you need to put a number corresponding to the number of atoms in front of its sign. For example, the notation 3N means “three nitrogen atoms.”
The number preceding the sign of a chemical element is called a coefficient.

1. Attention, question! (10 min)
Teacher: Explain the etymology of the names of chemical elements.
Student: The names of the elements have different etymologies. They come from:
names of countries and continents - for example, the name ruthenium comes from the Latin name of Russia, and the names europium and americium come from the names of the continents: Europe and America;
the names of outstanding chemists - for example: mendelevium, nobelium, rutherfordium;
names of planets - for example: uranium, neptunium, plutonium;
names of rivers - for example, rhenium.
All known elements have symbols. The symbolic designation of elements was proposed in 1814 by J. J. Berzelius. Previously, various abbreviations for elements and connections were also used. One of these types of designations were graphic symbols.
Teacher: What do we know from the history of the development of the language of chemistry?
Student: Back in the Middle Ages, during the time of alchemy, various signs were used to designate substances, mainly metals. After all, the main goal of alchemists was to obtain gold from various metals. Therefore, each of them used their own notation system. In the 19th century There was a need to use symbols that were understandable to all scientists. And John Dalton was one of the first to propose such symbolism. But his notation was inconvenient to use.
Teacher: Tell us about the system of designation of chemical elements by Y.Ya. Berzelius

The scientist proposed to designate chemical elements by the first letter of their Latin name. In those days, all scientific articles were published in Latin; it was generally accepted and understandable for all scientists. For example, the chemical element oxygen (in Latin Oxygenium) received the designation O. And the chemical element hydrogen (Hydrogenium) - H. If the names of several elements began with the same letter, then the second or one of the subsequent letters of the name was indicated in the symbol of the element. For example, mercury (Hydrargyrum) is designated Hg. Please note that the first letter of the symbol of a chemical element is always capitalized; if there is a second letter, then it is lowercase. It is necessary to remember not only the names of the elements and their symbols, but also the pronunciation, i.e. how these characters are read. There are no specific rules for pronunciating the signs of chemical elements. They must be learned by heart. The signs of some chemical elements are pronounced in the same way as the corresponding letter: oxygen - “o”, sulfur - “es”, phosphorus - “pe”, nitrogen - “en”, carbon - “ce”. The signs of other elements are pronounced in the same way as the names of the elements themselves: “sodium”, “potassium”, “chlorine”, “fluorine”. The pronunciation of some signs corresponds to their Latin name: silicon - “silicium”, mercury - “hydrargyrum”, copper - “cuprum”, iron - “ferrum”.
Teacher: What is the meaning of the symbols of chemical elements?
Student: The sign of a chemical element has several meanings. Firstly, it refers to all the atoms of a given element. Secondly, the sign of a chemical element can designate one or more atoms of a given element. For example, the entry O can mean "the chemical element oxygen" or "one atom of oxygen."
To designate several atoms of a given chemical element, you need to put a number corresponding to the number of atoms in front of its sign. For example, the notation 3N means “three nitrogen atoms.” The number preceding the sign of a chemical element is called a coefficient.
Student: Attempts to streamline ancient chemical signs continued until the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the English chemist J. Dalton proposed denoting atoms of chemical elements with circles, inside which were placed dots, dashes, the initial letters of the English names of metals, etc. Dalton's chemical symbols became somewhat widespread in Great Britain and Western Europe, but were soon replaced by purely alphabetic ones signs that the Swedish chemist J. J. Berzelius proposed in 1814. The principles he expressed for composing chemical signs have remained valid to this day. In Russia, the first printed message about Berzelius's chemical signs was made in 1824 by the Moscow doctor I. Ya. Zatsepin.
Teacher: What are the designation principles?
Student: Modern symbols for chemical elements consist of the first letter or the first and one of the following letters of the Latin name of the elements. In this case, only the first letter is capitalized. For example, H - hydrogen (lat. Hydrogenium), N - nitrogen (lat. Nitrogenium), Ca - calcium (lat. Calcium), Pt - platinum (lat. Platinum), etc. For newly discovered transuranic elements that are not yet received a name approved by IUPAC, they use three-letter designations meaning a numeral - a serial number. For example, Uut - ununtrium (lat. Ununtrium, 113), Uuh - unungexium (lat. Ununhexium, 116). Hydrogen isotopes have special symbols and names: H - protium 1H, D - deuterium 2H, T - tritium 3H. To designate isobars and isotopes, the symbol of a chemical element is preceded by a mass number at the top (for example, 14N), and at the bottom left is the element's atomic number (for example, 64Gd). In the case where the mass number and atomic number are not indicated in chemical formulas and chemical equations, each chemical symbol expresses the average relative atomic mass of its isotopes in the earth's crust. To indicate a charged atom, the charge of the ion (eg Ca2+) is indicated at the top right. The number of atoms of a given element in a real or conditional molecule (for example, N2 or Fe2O3) is indicated at the bottom right. Free radicals are indicated by a dot on the right (eg Cl·).
Student: Chemists of the ancient world and the Middle Ages used symbolic images, letter abbreviations, and combinations of both to denote substances, chemical operations and instruments. The seven metals of antiquity were depicted with astronomical signs of the seven celestial bodies: the Sun (gold), the Moon (☽, silver), Jupiter (♃, tin), Venus (♀, copper), Saturn (♄, lead), Mercury (☿, mercury) ,Mars (♁, iron). Metals discovered in the 15th-18th centuries - bismuth, zinc, cobalt - were designated by the first letters of their names. The sign for wine spirit (Latin spiritus vini) is made up of the letters S and V. The signs for strong vodka (Latin aqua fortis, nitric acid) and golden vodka (Latin aqua regis, aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids) are made up of the sign for water Ñ and capital letters F and R respectively. The glass sign (Latin vitrum) is formed from two letters V - straight and inverted.
Teacher: Tell us about international and national symbols.
Student: The symbols given in the Periodic Table of Elements are international, but along with them, in some countries, symbols derived from the national names of the elements are used. For example, in France, instead of the symbols for nitrogen N, beryllium Be and tungsten W, Az (Azote), Gl (Glucinium) and Tu (Tungstène) can be used. In the USA, Cb (Columbium) is often used instead of the niobium symbol Nb. China uses its own version of chemical signs, based on Chinese symbols. Most symbols were invented in the 19th and 20th centuries. Symbols for metals (except mercury) use the radical or (“gold”, metal in general), for non-metals that are solid under normal conditions - the radical (“stone”), for liquids - (“water”), for gases — (“steam”) . For example, the symbol for molybdenum consists of a radical and a phonetic that specifies the pronunciation mu4.

Now we will decide whether you are ready for the serious tests that await us. Let's find out whether you have enough knowledge for this, whether you have mastered these topics well.
