In row 4 of the periodic table, the chemical symbols that do not match up with their element names are:

  • Fe: The symbol Fe corresponds to Iron, which is derived from its Latin name "ferrum."
  • K: The symbol K corresponds to Potassium, which comes from its Latin name "kalium."

All the other symbols in row 4 match their element names directly.
