6 0

Answer:

A calcium atom will lose its two electrons to obtain an octect in its outermost electron shell.

Explanation:

When a calcium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion. Due to the process of chemical bonding, it is easier for calcium to lose 2 atomes rather than gaining 6 more atoms.
