QMRP is an acronym for Qualified Mental Retardation Professional. This term was first used in federal standards developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s for intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled (ICF/DD).
Physical properties. Calcium is a fairly soft metal with a shiny silver surface when first cut. The surface quickly becomes dull as calcium reacts with oxygen to form a coating of white or gray calcium oxide. Calcium's melting point is 850Â°C (1,560Â°F) and its boiling point is 1,440Â°C (2,620Â°F).
Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20. Calcium is a soft gray alkaline earth metal, fifth-most-abundant element by mass in the Earth 's crust. The ion Ca 2+ is also the fifth-most-abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate.alcium salts are colorless from any contribution of the calcium, and ionic solutions of calcium (Ca 2+) are colorless as well. As with magnesium salts and other alkaline earth metal salts, calcium salts are often quite soluble in water.
