This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.
Question
Which of these letters doesn't appear in any atomic symbol in periodic table ??
1. J
2. K
3. L
4. Z
Answer
Out of 26 letters of English alphabet, 24 are used as chemical symbols.
ONLY J and Q are never used !!!
Every other letter from A to Z appears in some element symbol.
But not J and Q ......
Why not J ???
Most element name came from Latin and Latin does not have J !!! So no symbol needed J .....
Why not Q ??
Few temporary names used Q but later removed.
No element name starts with Q.
Correct Answer J ....
