Cal
Calcium is an element of the periodic table. It has atomic number 20 and a mass of 40. It is a soft grey alkaline earth metal and it occurs naturally as limestone and fluorite. While it is vital for living beings it has vast industrial uses as well. We all know that in human body bones are made up of calcium and an adult’s weight is made up of at least one kilogram of calcium. It is malleable and gives red yellow flames on combustion. On the other hand calcium carbonate is a compound of calcium and carbon. It is the result of chemical bonding between calcium, oxygen and carbon. Calcium carbonate has a chemical formula CaCO3. This is a very useful compound and is used in several industries like cement and glassmaking. Common name for this compound is limestone. It is often called chalk which is wrong because chalk is calcium sulphate and not calcium carbonate. In the form of calcite it has extraordinary optical properties.
