The formula CaF as written in the question shows two atoms; however this formula does not represent any actual compound. The compound between calcium and fluorine has the formula CaF2, because calcium forms divalent cations and fluorine forms monovalent anions. Therefore, the formula unit for calcium fluoride contains 3 atoms.
