Calcium loses 2 valence electron to become ionized.
Calcium has 2 valence electrons and it typically loses these 2 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
It loses 2 electrons to obtain the argon configuration of 8 valence electrons.
Calcium is a non metal element. There are 20 electrons in a single atom.
Depends on what you mean by number of electrons. Calcium has 20 electrons and oxygen has 8 electrons for a total of 28 electrons. But if you mean how many VALENCE electrons, then the calcium has 2 and the O has 6 for a total of 8 valence electrons.
It must gain two electrons.
It will lose 2 electrons.

Calcium has two valence electrons.
Calcium has two valence electrons.
There are only 2 valence electron found in calcium.
There are 2 electrons in valence shell of calcium. :-)
Calcium is a non metal element. There are 20 electrons in a single atom.
Calcium has 2 valence electrons, like all Group 2 elements.
Type your answer here... The number of valence electrons in calcium is 20, because it's almost the same thing as it's atomic number.
2 electrons as it has 2 valence electrons, hence it has a tendency to lose 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
I believe it is 2, seeing it is a metal, and has 2 valence electrons. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have my periodic table with me (Calcium -> Ca?).
Two.
It needs to lose to in order to have the same number of outer electrons as Argon. The Noble gas configuration of [Ar]4s2 confirms this.
