Question
All of the following statements are false EXCEPT
- potassium is represented by the symbol P.
- oxygen is represented by the symbol Ox.
- bromine is represented by the symbol B.
- sodium is represented by the symbol Na.
- copper is represented by the symbol Co.
Solution
The correct statement is "sodium is represented by the symbol Na."
Here's why:
- Potassium is represented by the symbol K, not P.
- Oxygen is represented by the symbol O, not Ox.
- Bromine is represented by the symbol Br, not B.
- Sodium is indeed represented by the symbol Na, so this statement is true.
- Copper is represented by the symbol Cu, not Co.
So, the only true statement is "sodium is represented by the symbol Na."
