well u take the Atomic Mass of Ca, 40, times it .5 and get 20 grams
One atom of calcium weighs approximately 40 atomic mass units.
For every 40 grams of calcium (Ca), 32 grams of oxygen (O) will be needed to react. This is based on the chemical formula for calcium oxide (CaO), where one calcium atom reacts with one oxygen atom to form one molecule of CaO.
If a calcium atom loses 2 electrons, it will form a calcium ion with a positive 2 charge (Ca^2+). This ion will have a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas, making it more stable than the neutral calcium atom.
The mass of a boron atom is approximately 10.81 atomic mass units (amu). In grams, this would be about 1.80 x 10^-22 grams.
When naming the compound containing calcium and chlorine, the suffix of the atom name changes to "-ide." Therefore, the compound would be named calcium chloride.

Calcium has twenty electrons in each atom.
Calcium is an element, so each atom of calcium is calcium.
The gram atomic mass of calcium is 40.08, the formula of anhydrous calcium chloride is CaCl2, showing that each formula unit contains one calcium atom, and the gram formula mass of anhydrous calcium chloride is 110.99. Therefore, 19050.9 grams of calcium chloride contains 19050.9(40.08/110.99) or 6.880 X 103 grams, to the justified* number of significant digits. ____________________________________________ *There may well be tables of gram atomic and gram formula masses more modern than the one I am using that would allow for more significant digits in the answer.
Technically, any atom could have 40 electrons, but it would have a very weird charge. However, Zirconium has 40 electrons without being an ion.
20 (any more or less and it would be an ion not an atom)
A calcium atom has two valence electrons.
one atom of sulphur and one atom of calcium
