a. 47 electrons

b. 6 electrons

c. 11 electrons

d. 10 electrons

e. 53 electrons

Explanation: If you are talking about neutral atoms (where as the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the atom), or are just being introduced to atoms then the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons the atom has. Or vice versa, the number of protons will be equal to the number of protons in an atom. For example, in a neutral atom, with 51 protons, will have 51 electrons. Or an atom with 5 electrons will have 5 protons.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
