The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
B. He would be considered an Organic Chemist since Organic Chemistry is the study of Carbon and its compounds.
The correct answer is the fourth option. The complete dissociation of a strong base is BOH + h20 -> B+ + OH- + H20 since this is the only base from the choices given. A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.
