Give the chemical symbol or name for each of the following elements, as appropriate: (a) rhenium, (b) tungsten, (c) caesium, (d) hydrogen, (e) indium, (f) As, $(\mathrm{g}) \mathrm{Xe},(\mathbf{h}) \mathrm{Kr},(\mathbf{i}) \mathrm{Te},$ (j) Ge.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) Re, (b) W, (c) Cs, (d) H, (e) In, (f) Arsenic, (g) Xenon, (h) Krypton, (i) Tellurium, (j) Germanium.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Rhenium

To find the chemical symbol for rhenium, we can look into the periodic table. The chemical symbol for rhenium is Re.
02

(b) Tungsten

The chemical symbol for tungsten can also be found in the periodic table. The chemical symbol for tungsten is W.
03

(c) Caesium

The chemical symbol for caesium can be found in the periodic table. The chemical symbol for caesium is Cs.
04

(d) Hydrogen

The chemical symbol for hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table. The chemical symbol for hydrogen is H.
05

(e) Indium

The chemical symbol for indium can be found in the periodic table. The chemical symbol for indium is In.
06

(f) As

As is given in the form of a chemical symbol. We need to find the name of the element. As represents Arsenic.
07

(g) Xe

Xe is also given as a chemical symbol. We need to find the name of the element. Xe represents Xenon.
08

(h) Kr

Kr is given in the form of a chemical symbol. We need to find the name of the element. Kr represents Krypton.
09

(i) Te

Te is given in the form of a chemical symbol. We need to find the name of the element. Te represents Tellurium.
10

(j) Ge

Ge is given in the form of a chemical symbol. We need to find the name of the element. Ge represents Germanium.
