Write the full electron configuration of calcium. 152 2s22p6 352 4s2

Use the electron configuration to predict the most likely oxidation state of calcium?
(Explain your answer please)

, oxidation state = +2

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom. The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies.

The electronic configuartion of Calcium with atomic number 20  is :

As calcium can easily lose its two valence electrons to attain stability , its oxidation state is +2.

what is the question here. i think you messed up.
