The abbreviation for Calcium is Ca.

Here’s a quick explanation:

In the periodic table, each element is represented by a unique one- or two-letter symbol. These symbols are often derived from the element's name. For Calcium, the symbol “Ca” is taken from the first two letters of its name. This system of abbreviations helps in standardizing the representation of elements across scientific disciplines.
