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.
In calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), the bonds between calcium and hydroxide (OH) ions are ionic, while the bonds within the hydroxide ion (O-H) are covalent. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal, while covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals.
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
As with all calcium compounds it is ionic. Though the proper chemical name is calcium peroxide in this case.
Calcium hydroxide has ionic bonding between calcium and hydroxide ions, as calcium donates electrons to hydroxide to form ionic bonds. The hydroxide molecule itself, however, has covalent bonding between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms within the molecule.
Chalk is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is a covalent compound. The bonds between the carbon, oxygen, and calcium atoms in calcium carbonate are primarily covalent in nature, involving the sharing of electrons between atoms.

The Oxygen and the Hydrogen atoms are held together by Covalent bonds and the Calcium is held together with Ionic bonds.

Ionic
Ca(OH)2 is ionic because it consists of a metal (calcium) and non-metal (hydroxide) elements. In this compound, calcium donates its electrons to the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the hydroxide ion, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds.
Ionic
No, it is ionic
Yes, covalent bonds are formed between atoms in Cao. Calcium oxide (CaO) has an ionic bond between calcium and oxygen atoms.
The hydroxide anions in calcium hydroxide have covalent bonding between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, and these anions are ionically bonded to calcium cations to form the complete compound.
