Calcium ( /ˈkælsiəm/ KAL-see-əm) is the chemical element with the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. It has an Atomic Mass of 40.078 amu. Calcium is a soft gray alkaline earth metal, and is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. Calcium is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate.[2]
Calcium is essential for living organisms, particularly in cell physiology, where movement of the calcium ion Ca2+ into and out of the cytoplasm functions as a signal for many cellular processes. As a major material used in mineralization of bones and shells, calcium is the most abundant metal by mass in many animals.

A Molecular Substance or Compound.
"Molecular element" is a much narrower category than "molecular substance". The kinetic units* of a molecular element contain at least two atoms, but all the atoms in the kinetic unit must be atoms of the same element. A molecular substance may contain any number of atoms of any number of elements. Therefore, every molecular element is a molecular substance, but the reverse is not true. The only additional requirements for a molecular substance are that all its kinetic units must have the same chemical composition and must contain at least two atoms but must not have any net electrical charge. ____________________________________________ *A kinetic unit is the smallest portion of a substance that moves further apart on average from other kinetic units when the substance expands while maintaining nearly constant interatomic distances within the kinetic unit itself.
Yes, it is possible for a substance to have the same empirical and molecular formula. This can occur when the substance is composed of only one type of element, such as oxygen gas (O2), where both the empirical and molecular formula are O2.
The molecular mass (symbol) of a substance is significant in determining its properties because it affects how the substance interacts with other molecules. Substances with higher molecular masses tend to have different physical and chemical properties compared to substances with lower molecular masses. This is because the molecular mass influences factors such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, which are important in understanding the behavior of a substance.
