∙ 11y agoThe element calcium is actually a metal; it is shiny and metallic in appearance, like any other metal, although it is much softer than most of the metals we usually encounter such as aluminum. Most people do not think of calcium as a metal because they do not encounter it in its pure form; they encounter it in the form of various compounds such as calcium carbonate, also known as limestone.

Does CaCl2 contain an alkali metal and a halogen?
Calcium chloride contains an alkali earth metal (calcium, a group 2 element) and a halogen (chlorine). There is no alkali metal. Alkali metals are group 1 elements.
What is the difference between the colours produced by alkali metals and calcium?
calcium is an alkaline earth metal thus has different characteristics to the alkali metals.
What element is an alkali metal aluminium calcium copper sodium?
Sodium.
What are two elements that are in the same family as magnesium?
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal. Beryllium and calcium are also alkali earth metals.
What alkali metal element is less reactive than calcium?
it is the lithium metal. it is less reactivated.

Is alkali metal a calcium?
No, it is an alkaline-earth metal.
Is calcium oxide acid or alkali?
Metal oxides are bases.So calcium oxide is also a base or alkali.
What element is a alkali metal with twenty protons?
It is calcium.
What is the difference between the colours produced by alkali metals and calcium?
calcium is an alkaline earth metal thus has different characteristics to the alkali metals.
What element is an alkali metal aluminium calcium copper sodium?
Sodium.
What is the metal that reacts explosively with acids?
All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.
What are two elements that are in the same family as magnesium?
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal. Beryllium and calcium are also alkali earth metals.
Is Calcuim Metal Or Non-Metal?
calcium is a metalloid as it stands between metal and non metal as it doesn't have all the porperties of metal. calcium oxide is not an element so neither metal or non metal it is a compound
What family is calcium and sodium in on the periodic table?
calcium belongs to alkaline earth metal family. sodium belongs to alkali metals.
What alkali metal element is less reactive than calcium?
it is the lithium metal. it is less reactivated.
Is rubidium and calcium an ionic compound?
Rubidium (an alkali metal) does not form compounds or ionic bonds with calcium (an alkaline earth metal). The two each form compounds with several of the same elements (e.g. chloride, carbonate, nitrate).
