 Everything are in symbol and ordered as per similar properties, so its quite easy to learn.

Breakdown the table into smaller section to learn it.

All symbols can be regarded as English abbreviations, except for ten that have Latin names and abbreviations and one (Wolfram) whose name can be considered of a German origin. Excluding Antimony and Tungsten, these are all important and frequently used elements.

Element Symbol Latin Name
Antimony Sb Stibium
Copper Cu Cuprum
Gold Au Aurum
Iron Fe Ferrum
Lead Pb Plumbum
Mercury Hg Hydrargyrum
Potassium K Kalium
Silver Ag Argentum
Sodium Na Natrium
Tin Sn Stannum
Tungsten W Wolfram

 

Knowing the Latin names as well enables you to decipher most Latin names of inorganic chemicals. In most Roman languages (French, Italian, Spanish) the present day word is derived from the Latin.
