Elements and Their Symbols

All 118 elements of the periodic table from their symbols, lightest first.

Most symbols are just the first letter or two of the name. The ones that are not, like Fe for iron, Na for sodium and W for tungsten, come from Latin or German. The answer tells you which. Cards arrive in order of atomic number, so the elements you meet in everyday life come long before the synthetic ones that exist for fractions of a second.
