Because it is made up of three substances -- copper carbon and oxygen -- CuCO3
Calcite is not an element. It is a mineral which is made up of the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.In chemistry it is known as the compound calcium carbonate, CaCO3
Calcite is a compound, specifically a mineral composed of calcium carbonate. It is not an element since it is composed of more than one type of atom (calcium, carbon, and oxygen). It is not a mixture since it has a specific chemical composition and structure.
Chemical formula for limestone is CaCO3. It is an inorganic compound.
Calcite is the opaque compound calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It will dissolve in carbonic acid and will fizz in stronger acids. Quartz is the usually transparent compound silicon dioxide (SiO2). It will not dissolve in acid.
Calcite is a mineral that contains the carbonate ion group (-CO3). It is a common mineral found in limestone and marble.
Calcite is a compound and therefore cannot be classified as a metal or nonmetal.
calcite is a mineral compound because its made up of two or more elements.
Orange Calcite is found in Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.

Calcite is calcium carbonate - CaCO3.
Yes, it is the compound known as calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Calcite is a compound. Atomic number is appropriate only for elements, not compounds.
Calcite is a compound, specifically a mineral composed of calcium carbonate. It is not an element since it is composed of more than one type of atom (calcium, carbon, and oxygen). It is not a mixture since it has a specific chemical composition and structure.
Chalk is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), an inorganic compound.
If this compound is refined can be classified as a pure substance.
Calcite is the most stable polymorphous form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a very common insoluble mineral salt. Though it contains Carbon and Oxygen it is not considered to be organic.
