The chemical symbol for the element calcium is ca. what would be the symbol representing calcium atoms that have lost two electrons?

Explanation:

When there will be loss of one or more number of electrons then the atom will acquire a positive charge.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 2.

So, in order to attain stability it loses its 2 valence electrons and this it acquires a +2 charge. Symbol that represents this change is .

Thus, we can conclude that the symbol representing calcium atoms that have lost two electrons is .
