Actually the bond would be an ionic bond because the chemicals are on either side of the Periodic Table. The chemicals wouldn't share the valence electrons, the chemical of calcium would give up it' selectron because it takes less energy.
Ionic. Generally a good guess whenever a halogen (2nd from right column on table) is involved with an alkali metal or alkali earth metal (left two columns on the periodic table).
Of course remember bonds are a continuum from ionic to covalent, depending on electronegativity differential. That said, CaCl2 is going to have a strongly ionic bond. And form pretty crystals.
The bonding present in calcium chloride is covalent bonding which takes place due to sharing of electrons between the two atoms.
Calcium and chlorine form a salt, calcium chloride, which has ionic bonds.
Calcium fluoride has ionic bonds.
This would be an ionic bond.

Ionic Bond (between metals and nonmetals)
Covalent bond exists between a carbon atom and a chlorine atom.
These two elements can never conjoin.
triple bond between the nitrogen atoms
hydrogen bond
ionic bond
A covalent bond.
Ionic Bond (between metals and nonmetals)
Pure Covalent Bond
Covalent bond exists between a carbon atom and a chlorine atom.
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
ionic bond
It makes a covalent bond. This means a bond between a metal and non-metal element.
Though they dissociate into ions in an aqueou solution, a bond between hydrogen and chlorine is covalent.
These two elements can never conjoin.
