There are two valence electrons in Ca. To determine this write out the electronic configuration of Ca using the Principal quantum number method K L M N 2 8 8 2 as you can see the number of electrons in the outermost shell (which is the valency) is 2. Making Ca a metal and giving away its 2q outermost electrons to attain a stable electronic configuration.
