Write the electronic configuration for 40/20 Ca

[AR] 4s². EC(Ca)=1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

S=shell

²or⁶ is number of electrons

Explanation:

the number of electrons for the calcium atom is 20 show the first two electrons of calcium will go in the 1s² orbital. the next two electron will go in the 2s orbital and the next 6 electron will go in the 2p orbital.

50.23 i believe is correct but don't quote me on that.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
