For example, Sodium starts with S, but the symbol is Na, and Na starts with N, so a(11) = 14. %C A213746 a(114) = 6 and a(116) = 12. %H A213746 Wikipedia, List of chemical elements %e A213746 a(3) = 12 because Lithium is Li and the first letter of Li is L. %t A213746 Table[ToCharacterCode[StringTake[ElementData[i, "Abbreviation"], 1]][[1]] - 64, {i, 112}] (* _T.
