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.
A programming language is a vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer device to perform specific tasks. the term programming language usually refers to high level languages, such as BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Java, FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal! i hope i was able to help :)
<span>In the formation of a solution,
energy is required to overcome the forces of attraction between the solvent
particles. The first step is for the solvent particles to move in order for
solute particles to enter the system. This process is endothermic where energy
flows into the system. The second step is when solute particles must separate
from other solute particles. Lastly, the solute should move between solvent
particles.</span>
Molecular are only between non-metals. Ionic has a higher melting point
