Neither.Calcium is an alkaline earth metal and located in the 4th Period of the Periodic Table. Lanthanoids only occur in the 6th Period and Actinoids in the 7th Period.

What are the example of inner transition element?

The inner transitional metals contain 2 main groups, the lanthanide series, and the actinide series (f block elements). The lanthanide series include the 14 elements that proceed lanthanum (atomic number 57) from atomic numbers 58 to 71. Their electron configuration include the 4f and 5d energy levels. Because of the closeness of those two levels, there is considerable uncertainty in some electron configuration assignments. The actinide series include the 14 elements that proceed actinium (atomic number 89) from atomic numbers 90 to 103. The electron configurations of the actinides are even more uncertain than the lanthanides because the closeness of the energy levels and because the nuclei are unstable to radioactive decay. Only minute amounts of some elements are obtained because of their instability. All of the actinides are unstable with respect to alpha emission. The later members tend to undergo spontaneous fission, a fact which limits the number of elements possible.


Is calcium chloride organic?

No, calcium chloride is not organic.It is an inorganic compound.All organic compounds contain carbon. Calcium chloride does not.This is not to say that all carbon compounds are organic. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), for example, is inorganic. So is carbon dioxide (CO2).But methane (CH4) is organic, being the simplest member of a series of compounds (C2H6, C3H8, C4H10, and so on).
