    75.  If "CO" was written as the chemical symbol for cobalt, it would be the same as the chemical formula for carbon monoxide. This ambiguity would create a lot problems such as in labeling and might lead to life-threatening danger. And The chemical symbol is ALWAYS written with the first letter in uppercase and the second letter in lowercase.
