The traditional calcium atom has twenty protons and twenty electrons making it neutral.
The calcium in the pic is a calcium ion so the number of protons and electrons are not equivalent.
Since it's 2+ that means the ion is positively charged and for that to happen electrons are away.
So 20-2=18
There are 18 electrons
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7 M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?
<u>Answer:</u> The rate constant at 324°C is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate rate constant at two different temperatures of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:
![\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{K_{244^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cln%28%5Cfrac%7BK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%7D%7BK_%7B244%5EoC%7D%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BE_a%7D%7BR%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
where,
= equilibrium constant at 244°C = 
= equilibrium constant at 324°C = ?
= Activation energy = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)
R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K
= initial temperature = ![244^oC=[273+244]K=517K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=244%5EoC%3D%5B273%2B244%5DK%3D517K)
= final temperature = ![324^oC=[273+324]K=597K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=324%5EoC%3D%5B273%2B324%5DK%3D597K)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{6.7})=\frac{71000J}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{517}-\frac{1}{597}]\\\\K_{324^oC}=61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cln%28%5Cfrac%7BK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%7D%7B6.7%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B71000J%7D%7B8.314J%2Fmol.K%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B517%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B597%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%3D61.29M%5E%7B-1%7Ds%5E%7B-1%7D)
Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is 
Explanation:
<h2>The number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital.</h2>
3.25 C because I said so and energy is green
