Beside above, how do you find the atomic number?
Now you know that atomic number = number of protons, and mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

What is the element with 26 protons?
Why does calcium have 20 protons and 20 electrons?
An ion is a neutral atom which has gained or lost an electron. An ion with a positive charge is called a cation. So Ca (Calcium) looses two electrons, what will be the resulting charge? Ca has 20 protons, so neutral it would have 20 electrons, but according to the charge, 2 electrons have been lost.
Why does calcium have an atomic number of 20?
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. The atomic number is the number of protons. The calcium-40 isotope has a mass number of 40 , and an atomic number of 20 , therefore it has 20 protons.
