Which is the symbol of tungsten?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Sb
- b W

- d Hg
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: b W
W is the symbol of tungsten, taken from the Latin name Wolfram.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Sb: Sb is the symbol of antimony (Latin name Stibium), not of tungsten; the symbol of tungsten is W.
- c Pb: Pb is the symbol of lead (Latin name Plumbum), not of tungsten; the symbol of tungsten is W.
- d Hg: Hg is the symbol of mercury (Latin name Hydrurgyrum), not of tungsten; the symbol of tungsten is W.
