What is calcium ions and chloride ions formula?

The ions should form CaCl2 because the two chlorine atoms each take an electron from calcium to form the chloride ion Cl-, and the calcium becomes Ca2+ ion.


When calcium and oxygen link up do they change?

calcium will give two electrons to form Ca2+ ions. oxygen will form two electrons to form O2- ions. these ions are linked (binded) together in CaO.

Does calcium form a cation or a anion?

The atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is 2,8,8,2. Calcium atom tends to lose the 2 valence electrons and becomes positively charged calcium ion. Positively charged ions get attracted towards the cathode i.e. the negative terminal in an electric cell. Hence, positively charged ions are known as cations. Calcium is a cation.
