Chemical formula: CaSO4·2H2O
Elements: Calcium, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen
Gypsum is formed underwater, usually between layers of shale and limestone. When the water evaporates and the area dries, the gypsum becomes solid "rock" gypsum.
Gypsum is in Plaster and Silica is in silicone.
gypsum rock often forms when salt evaporates just like h2o 555 it does to that what i think 89392
yes its softer
Very widely is the short answer. If you have a crack at 'gypsum' in a reference work such as wikipedia, you'll find reference to the caves of giant gypsum crystals in the Naica mine in Mexico. These crystals are up to 12m long, 4m thick, and weigh up to 55 tons! But with a temp of just under 60oC and an RH of >>90%, time to explore is limited. Back to the Q, large evaporite deposits of gypsum are found near the surface of the earth.
Gypsum is a salt (a compound made of both metallic and non-metallic elements).
Calcium, sulfur, hydrogen and oxygen.
Chemical formula: CaSO4·2H2O Elements: Calcium, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen
no, gypsum is neutral since it is a naturally occurring stone with no minerals
Plaster- of the type used on walls and to make medical casts (for a broken arm, etc) is made from gypsum. The formula for gypsum is 2CaSO4·2H2O. That's calcium. sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen- 4 elements.
Gypsum is a compound. It is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O.CaSO4·2H2O). The word gypsum comes from the Greek word meaning chalk or plaster, two of its most common uses.
No, gypsum is not metallic.

Gypsum is found sea.
Yes, graphite is harder than gypsum, so it can scratch gypsum.
the luster for gypsum is Vitreous to pearly
