it depends on the isotopes of calcium

e.g. Calcium-40 has 20 electrons and 20 neutrons

Calcium-44 has 20 electrons and 24 neutrons

To find out the number of neutrons for Calcium you take the Isotope number (x) minus away the number of electrons (20)

e.g. Calcium-x

Calcium-x has 20 electrons and (x-20) neutrons..

OR

you take the relative Atomic Mass (x) and subtract it with the number of electrons (20)

(x-20) = neutrons

How many protons neutrons and electrons will positive two ion of calcium have?

A positive two ion of calcium will have 20 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons in a calcium ion remains the same as in a neutral calcium atom (calcium has 20 protons and about 20 neutrons in its nucleus), but it loses two electrons to become positively charged.


What is mass number of calcium ion with 18 neutrons?

A positive two ion of calcium Ca would have how many protons electrons and neutrons?

A positive calcium ion (Ca^2+) has 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons. This is because the atomic number of calcium is 20, indicating 20 protons in a neutral atom, and losing 2 electrons makes it positively charged while the number of protons and neutrons remains the same.


How is are the configurations of calcium and a calcium ion similar?

They are the same in that they have the same number of protons and neutrons. However, the number of electrons is different. The calcium 2+ ion has two less electrons than the normal calcium atom.


A positive two ion of calcium ca plus 2 would have how many protons electrons and neutrons?

A calcium ion with a charge of +2 has lost 2 electrons, resulting in an electron count of 18. Since calcium has an atomic number of 20, the number of protons remains at 20. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons (20) from the mass number (which can be found on the periodic table), which for calcium is 40, to get 20 neutrons.

How many neutrons does an mg2 ion have?

An Mg2+ ion is a magnesium ion that has a charge of +2, meaning it has lost 2 electrons. The number of neutrons in an Mg2+ ion is the same as in a regular magnesium atom, which is 12 neutrons.
