calcium (Ca)
Term: calcium (Ca)
Literally meaning: ?pertaining to lime stone?
Origin:
?????/khalix(=pebble, gravel)
>(latin) calx(gen calcis) =limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3).
Coined/History
Calcium was isolated and named by English chemist Sir Humphrey Davy (1778-1829) in 1808, through the electrolysis of a mixture of lime (CaO) and mercuric oxide (HgO).
