A table of the elements with mythological influences or at least have the Greek language to thank for their names is below.

What are the latin names of chemical elements. Some of the names also led to other words that are common in the English language. For kicks I have included the Latin Roman terms also. However three elements Thorium Protactinium and Uranium have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic composition and thus their atomic mass given.

For example gold is oro in Spanish and or in French close to the Latin aurum tin is estaño in Spanish compare to stannum lead is plomo in Spanish and plomb in French compare to plumbum silver is argent in French compare to argentum and iron is fer in French and hierro in Spanish compare to. The names sodium and potassium were changed to natrium and kalium. Kalium is potassiums Latin name and derives from the Arabic al qal ī y meaning calcined ashes the ashes left over when plant material is burned.

Water carbon dioxide and table salt are three examples for chemical compounds. In the simplest way you can define a chemical compound as a substance that is made up of two or more elements. He Berzelius used the Latin names ferrum stannum and stibium for iron tin and antimony and gave zinc the Latin name zincum.

Tin Sn Stannum Antimony Sb Stibium Tungsten W Wolfram Gold Au Aurum Mercury Hg Hydrargyrum Lead Pb Plumbum Nearly all of these elements were known in ancient times and therefore carry over their Latin names. As with sodium a number of modern languages still refer to potassium as kalium and the name lends the element its chemical symbol K.

Some common elements have altered or stripped Latin suffixes in English version - Hydrogenium Oxygenium Carbonium Nitrogenium Silicium Aluminium the. 1Hydrogen Hydrogenium 2Helium The Same 3Lithium The Same 4Beryllium The Same 5Boron Borum. The first chemical element is Actinium and the last is Zirconium.

Other element names are derived from languages such as Greek Arabic and Anglo-Saxon. 2 The isotopic composition of this element varies in some geological specimens and the variation may exceed the uncertainty stated in the table. A number of names already given to metallic elements eg uranium chromium barium were of this form.
