A neutral calcium atom that loses two electrons has a +2 charge.
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
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.
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
In calcium chloride, there are 20 protons (from calcium), 20 electrons (neutral atom), and varying number of neutrons depending on the isotope of calcium used. Chloride ions have 18 electrons each, giving the compound a charge of -1.
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.

Calcium has 20 protons, 20 electrons and 20 neutrons in its most commonly found isotope.
Calcium (Ca) contains: 20 protons (positively charged) 20 neutrons (neutral) Outside of the nucleus: 20 electrons (negative charge) with the configuration 2-8-8-2 Calcium has an atomic mass of 40.08
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
The nucleus of an atom is always positive, even if it loses or gains electrons to form ions. Ionization affects the electrons in the electron cloud, but not the contents of the nucleus. The numbers of both the protons and neutrons in the nucleus will remain the same for whatever isotope is undergoing ionization. For example, the most abundant isotope of calcium is calcium-40, in which the nucleus contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons, and the electron cloud contains 20 electrons. When calcium atoms react with a nonmetal, they lose 2 electrons from the electron cloud and develop a 2+ charge, but the contents of the nucleus still contain 20 protons and 20 neutrons.
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
A neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons
