Match the elements with their symbols. 1 . oxygen gas o 2 . gold s 3 . iron au 4 . oxygen atom o 2 5 . sulfur fe 6 . calcium ca 7 . lead n 8 . nitrogen gas n 2 9 . nitrogen atom pb

Some of these are found straight from the periodic table, but some of them it is just easier to memorize.

Oxygen is gaseous form is .

Gold is Au.

Iron is Fe.

Oxygen atom is O, because we are not talking about it in the gaseous state.
