    Calcium is an important element that helps bones and nervous systems function properly. It has been known and used by humans since before the Greeks and Romans used lime in concrete. While calcium is often thought of as a white powder, its pure form is a hard silver-colored metal. Calcium is found in the second column of the periodic table along with other alkaline earth metals like beryllium and magnesium that share similar properties.

    Properties & uses
    You must have heard of calcium before. Calcium (Ca) is an important element that helps your bones stay
    strong and able to support your weight. Your nervous system also uses calcium to help transmit
    impulses through your body.
    Humans have known about calcium and calcium containing compounds since before the Greeks and
    Romans. Romans used lime in their concrete and gave it the name "Calx." That name was used when
    Davy was the first chemist to isolate pure calcium in 1808. When you think of calcium, you might think
    of a white powder, but when purified, calcium is a hard silver-colored metal.
    You will find calcium in the second column of the period table with other elements including beryllium
    and magnesium. The elements in that column make up the alkali.
