Chapter 1: Problem 9

Give the names of the elements represented by the chemical symbols \(\mathrm{Li}, \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{As}, \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Pt}, \mathrm{Mg},\) \(\mathrm{U}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Si},\) Ne. (See Table 1.1 and the list of The Elements with Their Symbols and Atomic Masses.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The elements represented by the given symbols are: Li - Lithium, F - Fluorine, P - Phosphorus, Cu - Copper, As - Arsenic, Zn - Zinc, Cl - Chlorine, Pt - Platinum, Mg - Magnesium, U - Uranium, Al - Aluminum, Si - Silicon, Ne - Neon.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Elements from Chemical Symbols

Each chemical symbol typically represents one element. Use a periodic table to match the chemical symbols to the corresponding element names. Do this for all the provided symbols: \( \mathrm{Li}, \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{As}, \mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Pt}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{U}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Ne}. \)
