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
Answer:
Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.
Explanation:
If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.
Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

Answer:
Sodium fluoride is a colorless crystalline solid or white powder, or the solid dissolved in a liquid. It is soluble in water. It is noncombustible.(I got this answer from g o o g l e)
Explanation:
The mass of oxygen and hydrogen must be equal to the mass of the substance they create the water. So if the hydrogen is 2.8 g the oxygen must account for the rest of the mass. Basically just subtract 25.4-2.8=mass of oxygen
