There are no unpaired electrons in calcium, all 20 electrons are in pairs, i.e. each pair is configured in one orbital:
2x in 1s orbital
2x in 2s orbital
2x in each of the three 2p orbitals
2x in 3s orbital
2x in each of the three 3p orbitals
and
2x in 4s orbital (these two are the valence electrons)

∙ 12y agoThere are no unpaired electrons in calcium. There are two electrons in the 4s sublevel. Calcium will lose those two electrons in order to form ionic compounds with nonmetals like oxygen and chlorine.

What is The element that has no unpaired electrons in the outer shell in its ground state is?
There are many elements which have no unpaired electrons in their outer shells. The Noble gasses all have closed shells of valence electrons. The alkali earth metals (Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium etc) also have no unpaired electrons, although their outer shell is not entirely full.

Is calcium sulfate magnetic?
My book says that calcium is paramagnetic but I cannot understand why since it doesn't have any unpaired electrons as paramagnetic materials need to have. I have the same question for magnesium too.

How many unpaired electrons are in silicone?
A silicon atom has 4 unpaired electrons.
How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus have in its ground state?
3 unpaired electrons
How many unpaired electrons are there in an oxide ion?
they're are zero unpaired electrons.
How many unpaired electrons in (d) subshell in ferric Fe3?
5 unpaired electrons There are 5 unpaired electrons in the Fe3+ ion. The reason for this is that Iron has the electron configuration Ar3d5.
