Answer:
The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)
1s2 -> He....
2s2 -> Be....
2p6 -> Ne...
3s2 -> Mg...
3p6 -> Ar...
4s2 -> Ca.
