Consider the following pairs:
a Sodium                     1. S
b. Carbon                     2. Co
c. Sulphur                      3. Na
d Cobalt                          4. C

Which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Cobalt (Co) vs. Carbon (C): Carbon is a single "C," while Cobalt adds the "o" to distinguish it.

Sodium (Na) vs. Sulphur (S): Because "S" was already taken by Sulphur, Sodium uses its Latin root. Similarly, Potassium uses K (from Kalium) because "P" belongs to Phosphorus.
