Introduction
Calcium is the third most plentiful metallic within the earth’s crust. It’s trimorphic in construction and its hardness is larger than that of sodium. It’s much less chemically reactive than alkaline metals. The atomic variety of calcium is 20 and is represented by Ca.
The distribution of calcium may be very huge; it’s out there in virtually all environments throughout the globe. It’s important for the expansion of crops and animals. It’s not out there alone in nature, it’s discovered within the type of limestone, gypsum and fluorite. It’s the most plentiful metallic current within the human physique, being the principle constituent of bones and tooth. Aquatic life is affected by the presence of its compound, calcium phosphide.
