halogens have high electron affinity, form ions easily, hence are involved in ionic bonding with suitable cations.
One neutral atom (typically a metal, which becomes a cation) and another (typically a nonmetallic element or group, which becomes an anion).
Halogens typically gain an electron to achieve an octet and become , F- Cl-,, Br-, I-
Ions of opposite charges are involved in ionic bonding where the metal atoms form metallic bonds.
Double and triple bonds are typically found in covalent bonding, where two atoms share two or three pairs of electrons, respectively. In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions. Thus, double and triple bonds are not typically present in ionic bonding.

If the bonding is covalent, then they are just called atoms but when in ionic bonding they are called ions.

How can you compare covalent bonding and ionic bonding with soccer
Chlorine can be involved in both ionic and covalent bonding. As it is a chloride, I would believe it to be a ionic bond, as a covalent bond would state the number of chloride atoms, e.g. dichloride.
Calcium is a metal with an electronegativity of 1.0 and oxygen is a nonmetal with an electronegativity of 3.5. The electronegativity difference is 2.5, and anything over 1.7 indicates an IONIC BOND.
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
