it is 2,8,8
Since the electron arrangement is 2,8,18, and 32, the electron arrangement for a calcium atom is 2,8, and 10.
2.8 There's a slight confusion if it is 2.8.3. well you see that is the electron arrangement of aluminium ATOM not ion. Hope this helps!
calcium is a metal which ionizes by electron loss,so a calcium ion has lost to electrons and the positive charge indicates electron deficiency.
it is calcium which has 1 electron less than normal
Na+ ion and neon are isoelectronic.
Argon
Neutral calcium's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2. Ca2+ is the ion of calcium, which means that it has 2 less electrons than neutral calcium. Therefore, its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
An atom of Calcium will lose an electron to become a posotive ion.
Neon has the same electron configuration as Na+ ion
The electron configuration is [Ar]3d2.4s2.
The noble gas krypton has the same electron configuration as an ion of bromine, Br-.
Argon
