Solution

The formula for Limestone, Marble and Chalk is same ,i.e., CaCO3 All of them are a form of calcium carbonate.

Chemically there is no difference in them but they differ in their physical structure.

Marble has a hard crystalline structure while Chalk is amorphous in nature. But limestone is a sedimentary rock which can occur in both crystalline and amorphous form.
