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).
Quick Answer. Calcium is a metallic element that has the atomic number 20. Some of its most important chemical properties are that it has 10 isotopes, an atomic mass of 50.08 grams per mole and a melting point of 840 degrees Celsius. Physically, calcium is a solid at room temperature, is slightly softer than aluminum and is silver-white color.
