Dalton was the first scientist to use symbols for elements. Chemical symbols act as a vocabulary of chemical language. Chemical symbols are used to describe chemical changes with clarity and precision. Chemical symbols help in identifying specific elements. Chemical symbols also represent an atom of a particular element. Chemical symbols also signify the atomic mass of an element.
$(a)$ How do symbols help in identifying specific elements?
$(b)$ How do we use symbols in daily life for our convenience?
$(c)$ What values do you find in using symbols?
