electrons move from the calcium atoms to the chlorine atoms
ionic bond calcium donates 2 electrons to two chlorine atoms and both attain stable configuration
When Ca and Cl combine with each other, the electron transfer takes place from Calcium atom to Chlorine atom (i.e from Ca to Cl). In other words, the Calcium atom (Ca) loses 2 electrons and the Chlorine atoms (Cl) gains 1-1 electrons. Due to this, the Calcium becomes a positive ion (Ca 2+) and Chlorine becomes a negative ion (Cl –).
There is no correct chemical formula described in your question. When calcium and chlorine combine, they form calcium chloride with a formula of CaCl2.

calcium and chlorine atoms
Calcium ( Ca ) donates two electrons to this ionic bond and chlorine ( Cl ) accepts one electron to form its octet. So, you need two chlorine atoms for every one of the calcium atoms.
in calcium chloride each calcium atom needs to lose two electrons but each chlorine atom needs to gain only one electron. This means that two chlorine atoms react with every one calcium atom to form calcium chloride. So the formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2.ca = proton number is 20 so the structure would be 2, 8 ,8 ,2cl = proton number is 17 so the structure would be 2 , 8,7To make it stable calcium has to lose 2 electrons and chlorine has to gain an electron. However if you add 2 to 7 in the chlorine it will make 9 so it will still be unstable therefore you need two chlorine atoms to share out the 2 atoms in calcium.
ionic bond calcium donates 2 electrons to two chlorine atoms and both attain stable configuration
Electrons are shared between the chlorine atoms and the bromine atoms.
calcium and chlorine combines to produce CalciumChloride (CaCl2) as chlorine needs 1 electron to complete its octate... and calcium needs to lose 2 electrons to stablized.. therefore 2 atoms of chlorine react with a single atom of calcium to stablized. Atomic numbers are as follow : Calcium 20 Chlorine 17
