Answer:

Calcium

Step-by-step explanation:

Between Neon and Calcium, neon will be more stable compared to the calcium.

Neon belongs to the group of elements on the periodic table called the noble gases. These are the most stable elements and they do not react with other elements.

  • Calcium on the other hand is reactive
  • It requires a loss of two electrons to attain stability.
  • Therefore, it is a more reactive element.
