Calcium will lose two electrons to gain the noble gas configuration of Argon.
20 electronsIt has 20 protons and 20 neutrons.20 electrons
A calcium atom has 20 electrons, as it has 20 protons to maintain a neutral charge. A calcium ion, specifically Ca2+, has lost two electrons, so it has 18 electrons.
Calcium is a non metal element. There are 20 electrons in a single atom.
A calcium atom has 20 electrons arranged in four energy levels or rings around the nucleus.
The neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons; the cation Ca2+ has 18 electrons.
Calcium will lose two electrons to gain the noble gas configuration of Argon.
A calcium ion (Ca2+) loses two electrons from an atom to achieve a stable octet electron configuration. This results in a +2 charge on the calcium ion.
There are 20 electrons in a calcium atom.
Calcium has 20 electrons in the neutral atom.
Calcium oxide has 20 electrons from the calcium atom, and 8 electrons from the oxygen atom, totaling 28 electrons.
I believe it is 2, seeing it is a metal, and has 2 valence electrons. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have my periodic table with me (Calcium -> Ca?).
I am not sure what you mean by atoms, i think you mean electrons (part of an atom).Calcium is in Group 2 of the periodic table so this means that in order to become stable it will lose 2 electrons.
Calcium, as an element, has 20 electrons. But when becomes an ion, it loses two electrons, becoming Ca+2. Therefore, as an ion, calcium has only 18 electrons.18
