• For the element sodium, the symbol is \( Na \) (from the periodic table, sodium has the symbol \( Na \) which comes from its Latin name natrium).
• For the element nitrogen, the symbol is \( N \) (nitrogen's symbol is a single - letter symbol \( N \)).
• For the symbol \( Zn \), the element name is zinc (zinc has the symbol \( Zn \) from its Latin name zincum).
• For the symbol \( Br \), the element name is bromine (bromine is a halogen with the symbol \( Br \)).
• For the element gold, the symbol is \( Au \) (gold has the symbol \( Au \) from its Latin name aurum).

Answer:

element name	element symbol
sodium	\( Na \)
nitrogen	\( N \)
zinc	\( Zn \)
bromine	\( Br \)
