Talk:What is the chemical symbol for tungsten

Tungsten - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a chemical element with symbol W and atomic number 74.

The word tungsten comes from the Swedish language tung sten, which directly translates to heavy stone.

Its name in Swedish is volfram, however, in order to distinguish it from scheelite, which is alternatively named tungsten in Swedish."
