Ionic Radius of Calcium ☢️ (Ca) rev. 2022 [& Discovery, Color, Uses ...

All atom's ions have an ionic radius, even Calcium. Ok so what is the ionic radius of a Calcium ion?

In the case of Calcium the ionic radius is 1.00 (+2) Å. Speaking of Calcium, let me walk you through some interesting details...

Calcium Facts

Calcium Ionic Radius

1.00 (+2) Å

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1808
Location: England

Atomic Mass

40,078

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Uses

Used by many forms of life to make shells and bones. Virtually no use for the pure metal, however two of its compounds are, lime (CaO) and gypsum (CaSO4), are in great demand by a number of industries.

Sources

Obtained from minerals like chalk, limestone & marble. Pure metal is produced by replacing the calcium in lime (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) with aluminium in hot, low pressure retorts.

Description

Fairly hard, silvery-white metal. Fifth most abundant element in the earth's crust (41,500 ppm). Occurs only in compounds.

Atomic Symbol

Ca

Name Origin

Latin: calx, calcis (lime).

State at 20 °C

Solid

Atomic Number

20

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Ionic Radius of Calcium (Ca) [& Discovery, Color, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
