- Calcium oxide: a white crystalline oxide used in the production of calcium hydroxide
- Calx is a residual substance, sometimes in the form of a fine powder, that is left when a metal or mineral combusts or is calcinated due to heat.
- The substance which remains after a metal or mineral has been thoroughly burnt, seen as being the essential substance left after the expulsion of phlogiston; the oxide left after calcination of a metal; calcium oxide
- Any powder obtained by strongly heating a substance in air. Almost always an oxide.
- It was believed to be an ash-like substance which is left when the phlogiston leaves a metal. Although we now believe that metals form metal oxides when they burn, we no longer believe the phlogiston theory.
