An ion is considered to be an atom which will be giving or indicate an electric charge of whether it will be positive or negative. The ions will only be formed when the atom that it obtains will bring out either a gain or lose in its electrons. The electively charge ions are classified into two which are called the cation and anion. The cation is classified as the positive charge, while the anion is classified as the negative charge ion. They are the ones responsible for providing electric charge on the ion.

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.
