 Calcium Cobalt Oxide

Calcium is a Block S, Group 2, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 40.078. The number of electrons in each of Calcium’s shells is [2, 8, 8, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar] 4s². The calcium atom has a radius of 197 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 231 pm. Calcium was discovered and first isolated by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808.

It is the fifth most abundant element in the earth’s crust and can be found in minerals such as dolomite, gypsum, plagioclases, amphiboles, pyroxenes and garnets. In its elemental form, calcium has a dull gray-silver appearance. Calcium is a reactive, soft metal that is a member of the alkaline earth elements. 

It frequently serves as an alloying agent for other metals like aluminum and beryllium industrial materials like cement and mortar are composed of calcium compounds like calcium carbonate. It is also an biologically essential substance found in teeth, bones, and shells. The name “calcium” originates from the Latin word “calics,” meaning lime.

Cobalt:

Cobalt is a Block D, Group 9, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 58.933195. The number of electrons in each of cobalt’s shells is 2, 8, 15, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d⁷ 4s²The cobalt atom has a radius of 125 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 192 pm. Cobalt was first discovered by George Brandt in 1732.

In its elemental form, cobalt has a lustrous gray appearance. Cobalt is found in cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot and skutterudite ores. Cobalt produces brilliant blue pigments which have been used since ancient times to color paint and glass. Cobalt is a ferromagnetic metal and is used primarily in the production of magnetic and high-strength superalloys. Co-60, a commercially important radioisotope, is useful as a radioactive tracer and gamma ray source.

The origin of the word Cobalt comes from the German word “Kobalt” or “Kobold,” which translates as “goblin,” “elf” or “evil spirit.” For more information on cobalt, including properties, safety data, research, and Nanochemazone catalog of cobalt products, visit the Cobalt element page.
