i have a doubt in electronic configuration of atom.in the electronic configuration of calcium it is =2,8,8,2.as in the m shell the maximum no of electrons that can be accomadated will be 18 electrons.so why the electronic configuration cannot be for calcium as =2,8,10

Expert Answer:
Calcium with atomic number as 20 have its electronic configuration as 2,8,8,2 and not as 2,8,10 because the energy of 4s orbital is less than 3d orbital, so 4s orbital is filled first.
Therefore, the electronic configuration of calcium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s23p6 4s2 (2,8,8,2) but not as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d2(2,8,10)

For example - Suppose I have to make
. Then i have to first react Carbon with Oxygen then react that compond with calcium. So how will i know the valency of compound formed from reaction of carbon with oxygen. We can know the valency of elements from their atomic number and electronic configuration, but how can i know the valency of compound? Please help,waiting for your reply, Thank you.
