Which of the following can be represented by a single chemical symbol? Group of answer choices

potassium chloride

sulfate ion

water

sodium

Sodium

Explanation:

Sodium is a pure chemical, hence it can be represented by the single chemical symbol Na.

Water has a chemical symbol of H2O, consisting of two, and not one, symbols, H and O.

Sulfate ion consists of a sulfide ion and four oxygen ions (SO4)2-. Hence, it does not fit.

Finally, potassium chloride has a chemical symbol of KCl. Consisting of two different chemical symbols, (K and Cl), it does not fit either.

Hope this helped!
