Count: 0 chemical elements that start with W. According to the authoritative IUPAC list of 118 officially named elements, no element name in English begins with the letter W. Note the close connection: the element with chemical symbol W is tungsten, but its English name begins with T; the symbol W derives from the historical name “Wolfram,” which explains why W appears in symbols but not in English names.

Understand why the search returns no results. Element names follow historical, linguistic, and scientific naming conventions (Latin roots, discoverers’ names, place names, or mineral names), and none of those official English names begin with W. Expect that users searching for “Chemical elements that start with W” usually mean either element names (none) or the element represented by the symbol W (tungsten/wolfram). Consult IUPAC, NIST, or PubChem for authoritative atomic numbers, standard atomic weights, and discovery years when compiling an A–Z reference.
