Calcium fluoride contain calcium and fluorine.
Fluorine, the element has a symbol/"formula" F. As a charged ion it has a -1 charge = F- Otherwise, fluorine is a diatomic molecule= F2 Calcium is also an element with symbol/"formula" Ca. As an ion it has a +2 charge, so it can be written as Ca2+.
The correct formula for a compound with one calcium atom and two fluorine atoms is CaF2, which is called calcium fluoride.
In one molecule of CaF2, there is one calcium atom and two fluorine atoms.
Group II fluoride compounds will have a formula unit such as CaF2. Your question could be interpreted a couple different ways, but I think this is what you meant.
There is only one chloride ion in the formula unit of sodium chloride.

The correct formula for a compound with one calcium atom and two fluorine atoms is CaF2, which is called calcium fluoride.
The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
In one molecule of CaF2, there is one calcium atom and two fluorine atoms.
Ca+2 F-1 <----- these are the ions and their charges Ca+2 F-1 F-1 <----- the charges have to add up to zero, so two -1 fluorine ions cancel out one +2 calcium ions CaF2 <---- simplify
Group II fluoride compounds will have a formula unit such as CaF2. Your question could be interpreted a couple different ways, but I think this is what you meant.
The formula for the compound between fluorine and calcium is CaF2, based on the Lewis theory of chemical bonding. This indicates that one calcium ion bonds with two fluoride ions through ionic bonds, resulting in a stable compound.
There is only one chloride ion in the formula unit of sodium chloride.
Calcium fluoride or CaF2 is comprised of two elements: calcium (Ca) and fluoride (F). One molecule of CaF2 thus contains two atoms of F and one of Ca for a total of three.
A formula unit is the chemical formula for a compound that can be used in balancing a stoichiometric equation. As this is the lowest possible combination of atomic combination, it is a formula unit.
There is 1 sodium ion (Na+) in one formula unit of NaCl.
The formula unit of sodium nitrate is NaNO3
