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.
Other natural material such as clay, wood, and stones can be changed into art.
Clay is pliable and is very easy to be molded into different shapes and sizes.
Wood can easily carved into different shapes, also different patterns can be easily etched on wood.
Stones of different variety and from different geological sources are painstakingly converted into statues or portraits of different life forms and scenery.

Answer:
The name of this compound is :
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
Explanation:
The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present in it.
The rule followed while naming the compound are:
1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .
2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate , -ide ," etc
3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.
For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth
Na2 = Can't be named as disodium
Hence the compound :
Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)
Bi = Bismuth
CO3 = carbonate
Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate
The molecular mass of this compound is :
Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)
= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)
= 597.987 u
