The element with atomic number 12 will have the chemical and physical properties resembling calcium (atomic number 20), in the modern periodic table.
The atomic number of calcium (Ca) is 20, so the electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2. Thus, calcium has 2 valence electrons. So, the element with 2 valence electrons will have physical and chemical properties resembling calcium. So, the electronic configuration of atomic number 12 is 2, 8, 8, 2 and the electronic configuration for atomic number 19 is 2, 8, 8, 1. So, the element having atomic number 12 has 2 valence electrons, just like calcium. So, the element with atomic number 12 magnesium (Mg) will have chemical and physical properties resembling calcium.
