Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons. When we fill in the first 20 orbitals, we get the configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2. Since 4 is the outermost shell in this configuration, calcium has 2 valence electrons.
The calcium atom will transfer its two valence electrons, one to each of two iodine atoms, to form the compound calcium iodide, CaI2.
There are only 2 valence electron found in calcium.
There are 2 electrons in valence shell of calcium. :-)
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Calcium has 2 valence electrons, like all Group 2 elements.
Calcium is a non metal element. There are 20 electrons in a single atom.

Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.
Depends on what you mean by number of electrons. Calcium has 20 electrons and oxygen has 8 electrons for a total of 28 electrons. But if you mean how many VALENCE electrons, then the calcium has 2 and the O has 6 for a total of 8 valence electrons.
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. carbon has 4 valence electrons.
