They have the same electron configuration as argon, which means they are isoelectronic with argon.

I would not think so as their natural state radius is so close. Ca(2+) loses two electrons, so I think it would have the smaller ionic radius.
Calcium is more reactive. In the periodic table, Calcium is directly below Magnesium, which means that a calcium atom is larger than a magnesium atom. This means that the electrostatic attraction between the valence electrons of calcium and the nucleus is weaker than in magnesium(larger distance, smaller force). So, the valence electrons of calcium can easily be lost to form Ca2+ , which translates to Calcium being the more reactive metal.
Milli equivalents and milli moles are units used to describe molecular or ionic grades of concentration. A milli equivalent or mEq is derived by dividing the concentration in millimol or mmol by the valency of the ion involved.Eg: 1 mEq of sodium Na+ = 1 mmol of sodium (because valency is 1)whereas 1 mEq of Ca2+ = .5 mmol of calcium. (because valency is
