The calcium ion has 18 electrons.
The sulfate ion has 16 electrons from sulfur, 32 electrons from oxygen atoms and two from the charge.
Altogether, a (molecule) of calcium sulfate has 68 electrons.
* Calcium sulfate is not existing as molecules, 'formula unit' is a better phrase.
What else can I help you with?
What is the product of iron sulfate plus calcium carbonate?
The product of iron sulfate reacting with calcium carbonate is iron carbonate and calcium sulfate. The iron from the iron sulfate displaces the calcium in the calcium carbonate to form iron carbonate, while the sulfate from the iron sulfate combines with the calcium to form calcium sulfate.
Is Calcium sulfate a base?
No, calcium sulfate is not a base. It is a salt composed of calcium ions and sulfate ions.
Is calcium sulfate an element?
No, because it has 2 substances in it - calcium and sulfate - Calcium is an element, but sulfate is a polyatomic ion. Sulfate consists of sulfur and oxygen. Therefore, calcium sulfate is a compound, that is, made of three elements.
What two elements are calcium sulfate made up of?
Calcium sulfate is composed of calcium, which is a metal element, and sulfate, which is a polyatomic anion composed of sulfur and oxygen atoms. The chemical formula for calcium sulfate is CaSO4.
Is calcium sulfate soluble in water?
Yes, calcium sulfate is sparingly soluble in water.
How many atoms are in calcium sulfate?
Calcium Sulfate has one calcium, because calcium is positively charged (2+) and sulfate is negatively charged (2-) and combines together 1 to 1 to form neutral calcium sulfate, or: Ca2+ + SO42- → CaSO4
What is the product of iron sulfate plus calcium carbonate?
The product of iron sulfate reacting with calcium carbonate is iron carbonate and calcium sulfate. The iron from the iron sulfate displaces the calcium in the calcium carbonate to form iron carbonate, while the sulfate from the iron sulfate combines with the calcium to form calcium sulfate.
How many electrons in calcium?

How many nuetrons and electrons does calcium have?
calcium has 20 neutrons and electrons
How many electrons are calcium?
Calcium has 20 electrons in the neutral atom.
How many valence electrons have calcium?
Calcium has two valence electrons.
Is Calcium sulfate a base?
No, calcium sulfate is not a base. It is a salt composed of calcium ions and sulfate ions.
The compound CaSO4 ionizes into a calcium ion and a sulfate ion SO4 Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell Upon ionization what would you expect the charge on the sulfate ion to be?
The sulfate ion (SO4²-) would have a charge of -2, because it would have gained two electrons to fill its outer shell during ionization.
Is calcium sulfate an element?
No, because it has 2 substances in it - calcium and sulfate - Calcium is an element, but sulfate is a polyatomic ion. Sulfate consists of sulfur and oxygen. Therefore, calcium sulfate is a compound, that is, made of three elements.
Is calcium sulfate organic or inorganic?
Calcium sulfate is an inorganic compound.
Is calcium sulfate magnetic?
My book says that calcium is paramagnetic but I cannot understand why since it doesn't have any unpaired electrons as paramagnetic materials need to have. I have the same question for magnesium too.
