I believe you mean the formation of the compound calcium iodide. In the formation of calcium iodide, CaI2, the calcium atom transfers two valence electrons to two iodine atoms, with one electron going to each iodine atom. This causes the formation of a calcium ion, Ca2+, and two iodide ions, I-. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bonds that form the compound calcium iodide.
Due to a calcium atom having a valency of 2 and an iodine atom having a valency of 1, when the two elements react they form a molecule with the formula CaI2, or 1 calcium atom and 2 iodine atoms.
Therefore, calcium transfers 2 electrons, but 1 to each of the iodine atoms, so that all three newly created ions have stable outer shells.
Each calcium atom loses 2 electrons, but each Iodine atom accepts only 1 electron.
So, the resulting compound would be CaI2.

Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.

Ca loses electrons. In general metals react in compound by losing some of their electrons, Ca is a metal.
The two outer shell electrons of a calcium atom are donated to an oxygen atom, forming calcium cations and oxygen anions that together constitute the salt compound calcium oxide.
Calcium oxide is; CaO. Results from Ca(2+) and O(2-)
The formula for calcium iodide is CaI2. This means that the calcium atom has transferred one electron to each of two iodine atoms, for a total of two electrons transferred.
The calcium atom will transfer its two valence electrons, one to each of two iodine atoms, to form the compound calcium iodide, CaI2.
Ca + I2 --> CaI2 Each calcium gives up 2 electrons to iodine when forming calcium iodide.

during the formation of calcium iodide,calcium donates two of its +ve ions each to a fluorine atom(2 in number) thereby making its octet and also fulfills the octet formation of each of fluorine atom..
It takes only one valence electron to form the calcium iodide compound.
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.

One calcium atom will transfer one of each of its two valence electrons to one each of two iodine atoms. In the process, the calcium atom becomes a calcium ion with a 2+ charge, and each iodine atom becomes an iodide ion with a 1- charge. The opposite charges between the iodide and calcium ions form an electrostatic attraction called an ionic bond, forming the ionic compound calcium iodide. Ca + I2 ---> I- + Ca2+ + I- ---> CaI2
ionic compound
A calcium atom will transfer its two valence electrons to two separate iodine atoms in the formation of calcium iodide. The calcium atom becomes a Ca2+ ion, and each iodine atom becomes a 1- iodide ion. The electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms ionic bonds between the ions.Ca + I2 --> Ca + I + I --> Ca2+ + I- + I- --> CaI2Overall reaction:Ca + I2 ---> CaI2
