All false.

Au- Gold isn't real. It exists in alternate universes.

Ag- somebody first found silver thinking it was gold and went AGGGGGG

Na- somebody was about to discover sodium then went... nah...

Pb- Peanut butter and lead. Everyone's favorite dish.

Fe- The first non male element!!

Gold has the symbol Au from its Latin name Aurum.

Potassium has the symbol K from its Latin name Kalium.

Iron has the symbol Fe from its Latin name Ferrum.

Copper has the symbol Cu from its Latin name Cuprum.

Silver has the symbol Ag from its Latin name Argentum.

Antimony has the symbol Sb from its Latin name Stibium.

Lead has the symbol Pb from it Latin name Plumbum.

Sodium has the symbol Na from its Latin name Natrium.

Tin has the symbol Sn from its Latin name Stannum.

Mercury has the symbol Hg from its Latin name Hydrargyrum.

Not featured in this quiz is: Tungsten, symbol W, from its alternate name Wolfram.

Ugh missed tin and antimony, even tried tin for the antinomy one because I knew it was very different letters and starting with s ( and thought b) And I knew could remember antimony ( I looked it up just now bevause i thought it was called something different here, but it isnt, then i thought maybe it was a newer one, but it isnt either. But I really cant remember that one from school)

I don't ever recall working with Antimony, or it having significant importance in reactions. My guess is that, plus the abbreviation not matching the name (I kept guessing tin).

I don't recall much chemistry. I don't know Antimony's orbital structure/valence shell, or whatever reactivity rules I've forgotten. I have room in my brain for one weird-name S; and it's tin. Antimony's gotta earn it's keep.
