Solution

Calcium ${}_{20}{Ca}$ ⁴⁰ — It is a chemical element with the atomic number 20
it is an alkaline earth metal
It is a reactive metal that forms a dark oxide nitride layer
Total number of electrons = atomic number
total number of proton = atomic number
mass number = mass of neutrons + mass of protons
total number of neutron = mass number – atomic number
Thus, in ${}_{20}{Ca}$ ⁴⁰ number of protons is 20, the number of an electron is 20, and the number of neutrons is 20, their geometric structure is as follows
