Calcium metal is more dense than water. If you had a block of calcium and dropped it in a container of water, it would sink. Note! Calcium reacts with water! Calcium metal is stored in a container beneath kerosene or another liquid to isolate the metal from air. Calcium will chemically react with the moisture in air and will thus be decomposed.
