Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), which consists of three types of atoms: calcium (Ca), carbon (C), and oxygen (O). Calcium is a metal, while carbon and oxygen are nonmetals. The structure of chalk is often in the form of fine particles or powder, resulting from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells and skeletons over time.
