Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that each element on the periodic table is represented by a unique one- or two-letter symbol, where the first letter is always capitalized and the second letter, if present, is lowercase.
Review the given options: Tin (Sn), Titanium (Ti), Tellurium (Te), and the symbol 'T' alone.
Check the official periodic table symbols for these elements: Tin is 'Sn', Titanium is 'Ti', Tellurium is 'Te'. None of these use 'T' alone as their symbol.
Understand that 'T' by itself is not an official element symbol; element symbols are standardized and 'T' does not correspond to any element.
Conclude that the correct answer is that no element has the symbol 'T' alone.
