Answer:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
