Why do some elements have symbols that don't use letters in the element's name?

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

Adisk with a radius of r is oriented with its normal unit vector at an angle q with respect to a uniform electric field. which of the following would result in an increase in the electric flux through the disk? check all that apply? a. increasing the area of the disk b. decreasing the given orientation angle of the disk c. decreasing the strength of the electric field d. increasing the given orientation angle of the disk, but not exceeding an angle of 90

Given the data calculated in parts a, b, c, and d, determine the initial rate for a reaction that starts with 0.85 m of reagent a and 0.70 m of reagents b and c?
