No, this is a misunderstanding of what chemical symbols mean. Some elements, like carbon, have single letter symbols (C in this case). However, there are far more than 26 elements, so we also have to use two letter symbols, such as Ca for calcium. It is vital to remember that the large and the small letter together form just ONE symbol. So, a symbol is either a capital letter, or a capital and a lower case letter which can't be split. An example of the difference is CO and Co. CO is a molecule of carbon monoxide, composed of a carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom. Co is a single atom of cobalt.

∙ 7y agoNo. Calcium is an element and carbon is an element. Neither contains the other. The symbol for carbon is C and that for calcium in Ca, but the C in Ca is NOT carbon.

What are two compounds that contain carbon?
Calcium carbonate; carbon dioxide are two
Is calcium in salt?
Sodium chloride doesn't contain calcium. Calcium chloride contain calcium.
What is calcium and carbon?
Calcium and carbon are natural chemical elements.
Does calculus contain calcium?
Calculus is a branch of mathematics and therefore does not contain calcium.
Is lime organic?
No, and organic compound must contain carbon and hydrogen. Lime is Calcium oxide (CaO) and contains neither of those elements.
Calcium contain carbon?
no, calcium does not contain carbon, making it inorganic
What percent of carbon is calcium chloride?
ZERO - Calcium Chloride is CaCl2 and thus does not contain carbon. In like manner Carbon is C and does not contain calcium chloride.
What the elments are in CaCO3?
Calcium (Ca) Carbon (C) Oxygen (O)
What atoms does calcium carbonate contain?
Calcium carbonate consists of carbon, oxygen, and calcium.
What are two compounds that contain carbon?
Calcium carbonate; carbon dioxide are two
Is calcium phosphate inorganic?
Yes, because it does not contain carbon.
Does graphite contain calcium carbonate?
No. Graphite is pure carbon.
Is calcium hydroxide inorganic?
Yes, calcium hydroxide is inorganic: It does not contain carbon and is not a hydrocarbon derivative.
Do organic molecules have to contain the element calcium?
No, they don't. Organic compounds have to contain the element carbon.
Does calcium carbonate CaC03 contain 3 elements?
yes, calcium (Ca), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O)
What elements does alcohol contain?
hydrogen, carbon, oxygen
Do diamonds contain calcium carbonate?
NO!!!! Diamonds are an ALLOTROPE of CARBON. Other allotropes of carbon are graphite and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene)
