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
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.
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.
Li-6 has 3 neutrons and Li-7 has 4 neutrons.
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 40 - 20 = 20 neutrons
A calcium ion has 20 protons, the same as its atomic number. The number of electrons depends on the charge on the ion. For the most common calcium ion with a charge of +2, the number of electrons is 18; 20 - 18 = +2. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope that is ionized and is equal to the mass number of the isotope minus the atomic number of 20.
20
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.

20 p+ 20 n
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.
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 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.
20 neutrons
The most stable isotope, calcium-40 has 20 neutrons.
Li-6 has 3 neutrons and Li-7 has 4 neutrons.
atom have: 20 protons,20 electrons and20 neutrons ion have: 20 protons 18 electrons( metals lose electrons) and20 neutrons
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.
