the formula of the compound that is formed between chlorine and calcium is CaCl2
explanation
chlorine (non metal) react with Calcium ( a metal) to form an ionic compound CaCl2
Ionic compound is formed when metal loses electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) while non metal gains electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion)
An ionic compound is formed when calcium metal(Ca) loses two electron to form Ca2+ cation , while 2 chlorine atom gain one electron each to form cl- anions.
when writing down the formula of ionic compound cation symbol is written first followed by anion symbol.
Therefore the formula of ionic compound formed between chlorine and calcium is CaCl2
