How about giving us a little context?  Is this a school assignment?  If so, what level?  That so we know how much detail to go into.  If it's for school, how much work have you done already? Show us.

If this is more of a citizen chemist sort of interest, then ask us the whole question you have.  If you have some info already, let us know, so we know what sense you mean it, and what discipline you're starting from.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

No it's just a general question based on what i read in wikipedia. From wikipedia: A calcium salt is a salt of calcium and an organic or inorganic anion. The list of possible calcium salts is therefore practically unlimited.

Well, these are perfect answers to your questions, I doubt we will be able to give you better ones. Feel free to delve deeper, but on the general level there is not much to add.

What you read on wikipedia?  You mean to say instead, what you wrote on wikipedia, right?
