Chapter 2: Problem 51

Give the names of the metals that correspond to the following symbols: \(\mathrm{Sn}, \mathrm{Pt}, \mathrm{Hg}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ag}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The metals corresponding to the given symbols are: - \(\mathrm{Sn}\) represents Tin - \(\mathrm{Pt}\) represents Platinum - \(\mathrm{Hg}\) represents Mercury - \(\mathrm{Mg}\) represents Magnesium - \(\mathrm{K}\) represents Potassium - \(\mathrm{Ag}\) represents Silver

Step by step solution

01

Find each metal's symbol in the periodic table

Look for each of the given symbols in the periodic table. The symbols are: \(\mathrm{Sn}, \mathrm{Pt}, \mathrm{Hg}, \mathrm{Mg}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ag}\) Refer to a periodic table to find each element's name.
02

Note down the corresponding metal for each symbol

Once you have located each symbol in the periodic table, write down the full name of the metal: Sn: Tin Pt: Platinum Hg: Mercury Mg: Magnesium K: Potassium Ag: Silver
03

Write down the results

Now that we have found the names of the metals for each symbol, we can write down the answer: - \(\mathrm{Sn}\) represents Tin - \(\mathrm{Pt}\) represents Platinum - \(\mathrm{Hg}\) represents Mercury - \(\mathrm{Mg}\) represents Magnesium - \(\mathrm{K}\) represents Potassium - \(\mathrm{Ag}\) represents Silver
