Ionic Bond (between metals and nonmetals)
Calcium will bond with chlorine, but not with sodium. Sodium is a metal like calcium, so they will not bond with each other.
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
Common salt is NACl and contains both sodium and chlorine. It can therefre be used as a source of chlorine (electrolysis) and sodium compounds.

Ionic, sodium chloride is Na+ and Cl-
They form an ionic bond.

It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
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.
An Ionic bond.
An ionic bond. A metal bonding with a non-metal will always give you an ionic bond.
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
