Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3) Ca = Calcium; It has an Atomic Mass of 40.078 amu. Calcium is a soft grey alkaline earth metal, and is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. As a major material used in mineralization of bones and shells, calcium is the most abundant metal by mass in manyanimals.
C = Carbon; isnonmetallic and tetravalent---making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It can be black amorphous powder like soot, grey and soft like graphite or clear and hard like diamond
O = Oxygen; It is a member of the chalcogen group on the Periodic Table, and is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements

What are the 3 elements that make up calcium carbonate?
Limestone (CaCO3) is made up of:Ca- calciumC- carbonO- oxygen
What are the two elements that make up iron?
Iron is, itself, and element. It is not a compound of two elements.
What are the elements that make up KBr?
The two elements that are in KBr are Potassium and Bromine.
What two elements make iron?
Iron is an element in its own right. So there are no two elements that make iron. However, Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron and Carbon are tweo different elements. So steel contains two different elements.
Is limestone a pure substance or a mixture?
Pure substance
What three elements make up limestone formations?
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, and therefore contains the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.
What two elements combine to from limestone?
The main component of limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As you can see it is made of three elements not two. (Ca Calcium) (C Carbon) and (O Oxygen).
Why is a compound?
Limestone is a compound because it consists of two or more elements: CaCO3
Is chalk the same as the rock limestone?
It is pretty much the same. Chalk and limestone are made of the same elements, but to to make chalk they change the limestone a bit. First they change the shape and then make it smooth. I hope that helps!
what are the 3 elements that make up calcium?
Limestone (CaCO3) is made up of:Ca- calciumC- carbonO- oxygen
Where do the elements in limestone originate from?
The biological processes
What are the 3 elements that make up calcium carbonate?

What elements make up NABR?
There are two elements that make up the compound NaBr, or sodium bromide. These two elements are sodium and bromine.
What limestone can be processed to make?
Limestone can be processed to make marble.
What two elements makes time?
No elements make time.
