Ca has 2 electrons in its valence shell.
When ionized, it transfers its 2 extra electrons to another atom in order to stabalize its outer shell.
Therefore, it is losing 2 negatively charged particles and gains a charge of "2+".

What is the electric charge on the ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
How many charges does calcium have?
Calcium has a chrage of +2 or two positive charges
What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
What is the name of the ion Ca2 plus?
Ca2+ is a cation formed by Calcium to become stable and attain the noble gas configuration of Argon. Calcium forms this cation by losing two electrons
What forms when an ion has a 1 charge?
cation
What is the charge on the monatomic ion that calcium forms in its compounds?
Calcium forms a 2+ ion.
Indicate the number of electrons lost or gained by calcium and give the charge of the ion it forms?
loses 2 electrons to form a calcium ion with 2+ charge
What is the difference between a calcium ion and a sodium ion?
Sodium ions have a +1 charge, whereas calcium ions have a 2+ charge.
What would the formula be if calcium and hydroxide became a compound?
As calcium forms the 2+ ion, and hydroxide has a negative charge, the formula would be Ca(OH)2
What Is the electric charge on calcium ion in calcium chloride?
+2.
Why is the probable charge of an ion of calcium positive?
calcium is a metal which ionizes by electron loss,so a calcium ion has lost to electrons and the positive charge indicates electron deficiency.
What is the electric charge on the ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
Predict the charge that a calcium ion would have?
2+
How many charges does calcium have?
Calcium has a chrage of +2 or two positive charges
What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
Sodium forms an ion with a charge of what?
Sodium ions have a charge of 1+
How is the calcium ion represented?
When calcium is ionized it loses 2 electrons and forms Ca2-
