You could draw it using Lewis structures, where valence electrons are represented by dots. You can also express it in equation form. The first ionization of calcium, for instance, could be expressed as: Ca --> Ca+ + e-

As you can see, neutral calcium loses an electron to form the calcium +1 cation. Of course, we know that calcium will lose another electron as well, which can be expressed in the equation for the second ionization of calcium: Ca+ --> Ca++ + e-

Normally, calcium will not experience a third ionization, because with two valence electrons, it has now achieved a full octet and is isoelectronic with argon.

What are the trends in first ionization energy within groups and across periods in the periodic table?

First ionization energy: if you are looking at your periodic table, start from the bottom left corner at Francium in period 7 group 1, then draw a line to helium group 8 period 1. That line represents increasing first ionization energy. Basically it increases going to the right and increases going up Think of the positive slope line y=x on a graph starting at the origin (of Fr in this case) going all the way to He.
