Question

7. Write True for the true statement and False for the false one.

(a). The symbol of chlorine is $\mathrm{Ch}$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The letters used to represent elements are called chemical symbols.
• Most elements are identified by the first letter of their name. For example, the symbol for hydrogen is $\mathrm{H}$.
• If the name of two or more elements begins with the same letter, another letter is added to the name. The letter could be the second letter in its name or any other letter in its name.
• The first letter in a chemical symbol is always an upper case letter. The other letters are always lower case.
• Therefore, the symbol of chlorine is $\mathrm{Cl}$.

Hence, the given statement is false.
