[Ar] 4s2
In full starting with 1s and through each level. The noble gas form, where only the electrons above the highest noble gas configuration are shown, the noble gas is in square brackets. Example chlorine 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5 [Ne]) 3s2 3p5
Ca2+
The electron configuration of oxygen (atomic number 8) is 1s2 2s2 2p4The noble gas form is [He] 2s22p4
Calcium must lose 2 electrons and will become Ca2+. It will then have the electron configuration of Argon, a noble gas.
two electrons lost
[Ar] 4s2
No Such ... all atoms have an electron configuration, yet Ca++ is not a noble gas.
The noble gas notation is a notation formed as a result of the electron configuration notation being used in conjunction with noble gases. The noble gas preceding the element in question is written then the electron configuration is continued from that point forward. The notation is shorter to write and makes it easier to identify elements. The noble gas notation starts for elements after helium. For example, the electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2, whereas its noble gas notation is [He] 2s2 2p2.
[He] 2s1
The electron configuration of uranium is (short): [Rn]5f36d17s2.
There is no boble gas notation for hydrogen and helium. The noble gas notation starts for elements after helium. The noble gas notation is a notation formed as a result of the electron configuration notation being used in conjunction with noble gases. The noble gas preceding the element in question is written then the electron configuration is continued from that point forward.

Use the noble gas notation to write the electron configuration for
Calcium loses two electrons to obtain a noble-gas electron configuration.
In noble gas notation, you don't have to write the electron configuration up to that noble gas. You simply put the noble gas in brackets [noble gas] and then continue to write the electron configuration from that point. It just makes it shorter and easier to write electron configurations for elements with a lot of electrons.
