I can't figure out why i'm wrong on this. "Identify the following elements." (below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[X _{80}^{202}\] (Openstudy doesn't have a way for me to put superscripts before the X, so it's just the atomic number and mass number on the other side. Top is mass, bottom is atomic.) I thought this would be Mercury, but I was wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put in this as an answer (Again, super/subscripts preceding the chemical symbol) \[Hg_{80}^{202}\] What am I not getting? The answer said for it to be formatted as a chemical symbol, what other element could it be with 80 protons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

sam (.sam.):

I think you should put it \[\Large _{80}^{202}Hg\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just can't write it that way with Openstudy due to it only letting me put super/subscripts after. I put that exactly in. One sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sam (.sam.):

Try just write 'Hg'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did that, too, for another part. I'll try it again for this specific one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, that was correct. I thought the phrase "chemical symbol" meant the whole thing, apparently not. Ty.

sam (.sam.):

The way you written \[X _{80}^{202}\] Is atomic symbol
