For which element(s) is/are the chemical symbols indicative of the element's americanized name?
1 Answer
I don't know if you mean both letters of the symbol must be the first two letters of the element, or just the first letter must be the same; I'll choose the latter option, for the fun of it!
I suppose I can give you a complete list in order of increasing atomic number,
