Explanation:
An ion is an atom of a chemical element that has an unequal number of electrons compared to protons. Remember that electrons are negative charges, and protons are positive charges. In the case of the calcium ion, we have a calcium element with a positive charge of 2. Positively charged atoms are called cations.
