Best Answer

Clay is not an element represented in the periodic system.

It is a mixture of different elements and molecules. Clay tends to be aluminum silicates (AlSi) with oxygen/oxides. Part of the molecule might include magnesium, sodium, calcium, and iron. Often there are ionic elements clinging to the silicates that give each instance of clay its unique characteristics.

Which is harder limestone or clay?

Limestone would be potentially harder until the clay is fired. The problem we have here is that "clay" is an ambiguous term. There is no homogenous or standard formula for clay. However, clays can generally be formed and baked to become set and hard. This is called firing. Fired clay tends to be quite hard, and depending on the formula, might be harder than limestone.
