The electron configuration and noble gas core for Li+ is that of He: Li+: (1s2, 2s0)
Cl- and Ca2+ has the electronic configuration of the noble gas, Ar, with 18 electrons.
The pseudo-noble gas configuration for calcium is achieved when it loses two electrons to form a Ca2+ ion. This results in the same electron configuration as argon.
Ca2+ is a cation formed by Calcium to become stable and attain the noble gas configuration of Argon. Calcium forms this cation by losing two electrons
Sodium (Na+) with 1 electron in its outer shell, chlorine (Cl-) with 1 extra electron, potassium (K+) with 1 electron removed, calcium (Ca2+) with 2 electrons removed, and argon (Ar) with a full outer shell of electrons.
The calcium ion formed when it achieves a noble-gas electron configuration is Ca2+, as it loses two electrons to have the same electron configuration as argon, a noble gas.

Cl- and Ca2+ has the electronic configuration of the noble gas, Ar, with 18 electrons.
A calcium ion (Ca2+) has the same electron configuration as argon. Both have 18 electrons with the electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
They all have stable electron configurations, either full outer shells (Argon) or filled electron orbitals (Sodium, Chlorine, Potassium, Calcium). This stability makes them chemically unreactive or less likely to form compounds under normal conditions.
The pseudo-noble gas configuration for calcium is achieved when it loses two electrons to form a Ca2+ ion. This results in the same electron configuration as argon.
They have the same electron configuration as argon, which means they are isoelectronic with argon.
They have the same electron configuration as argon, which means they are isoelectronic with argon.
Calcium (Ca) has 20 electrons in its neutral state. To attain a noble gas electron configuration (like argon), calcium would need to lose 2 electrons to have the same electron configuration as argon, as argon has 18 electrons.

Sodium (Na+) with 1 electron in its outer shell, chlorine (Cl-) with 1 extra electron, potassium (K+) with 1 electron removed, calcium (Ca2+) with 2 electrons removed, and argon (Ar) with a full outer shell of electrons.
Calcium and magnesium ions have electron configurations similar to that of neon, fluorine ions are similar to that of the noble gas neon, and iodine ions are similar to the noble gas xenon.
