Calcium is a solid at room temperature due to its atomic structure and bonding properties. It has a relatively high melting point of 842 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 1484 degrees Celsius, which are characteristic of solids. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged calcium ions and the negatively charged electrons hold the atoms together in a rigid lattice structure, resulting in a solid state.
