It obtains a neutral pH (7). The combination of a strong acid and a strong base results in a neutral pH. The pH of HCl is about 1, and the pH of NaOH is 14.
The 4th energy level (row), 's' orbital block, 2nd group (column). The valence electrons are found in the highest energy level of the electron configuration in the 's' and 'p' orbitals. In the case of calcium this is 4s2 . This gives calcium an 's' orbital with a pair of electrons in its valence shell
C. Nickel, hope this helps!
