=How Calcium Reacts with Other Elements= Calcium can react with other elements to form various materials and substances. An example is that when it gets in contact with water, it reacts and forms calcium hydroxide and hydrogen. When exposed to air, Calcium slowly oxidizes to calcium oxide. When heated and in contact with Sulfur, it forms calcium sulfide, and when heated and in contact with Nitrogen it forms calcium nitride. The compounds of Calcium can be used to form plaster, quicklime, Portland cement, and metallurgic and electronic materials.
