Calcium is the only element with two primordial doubly magic isotopes. The experimental lower limits for the half-lives of 40 Ca and 46 Ca are 5.9 × 10 21 years and 2.8 × 10 15 years respectively. [30] Apart from the practically stable 48 Ca, the longest lived radioisotope of calcium is 41 Ca.
Lavoisier writes the first modern list of chemical elements – containing 33 elements including light and heat but omitting Na, K (he was unsure of whether soda and potash without carbonic acid, i.e. Na 2 O and K 2 O, are simple substances or compounds like NH 3), [91] Sr, Te; some elements were listed in the table as unextracted "radicals ...
He is also remembered for isolating, by using electricity, several elements for the first time: potassium and sodium [1] in 1807 and calcium, strontium, barium, magnesium and boron the following year, as well as for discovering the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine.
Throughout the history of chemistry, many chemical elements have been discovered. In the 19th century, Dmitri Mendeleev formulated the periodic table, a table of elements which describes their structure. Because elements have been discovered at various times and places, from antiquity through the present day, their names have derived from ...
The chemical elements were discovered in identified minerals and with the help of the identified elements the mineral crystal structure could be described. One milestone was the discovery of the geometrical law of crystallization by René Just Haüy , a further development of the work by Nicolas Steno and Jean-Baptiste L. Romé de l'Isle (the ...

Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.
Calcium-60 is the heaviest known isotope as of 2020. [1] First observed in 2018 at Riken alongside 59 Ca and seven isotopes of other elements, [26] its existence suggests that there are additional even-N isotopes of calcium up to at least 70 Ca, while 59 Ca is probably the last bound isotope with odd N.
