Calcium ( Ca ) donates two electrons to this ionic bond and chlorine ( Cl ) accepts one electron to form its octet. So, you need two chlorine atoms for every one of the calcium atoms.

What is the nature of the CaCl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride CaCl2 if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0 and that of chlorine is 3.16?
The CaCl bond would be polar ionic.
Ca2 plus CL equals CaCL2?
No, one atom of the element Calcium (Ca) reacts with a molecule of Chlorine Gas which has two atoms of chlorine (CL2) to form on molecule of Calcium chloride (CaCl2) :-Ca + CL2 = CaCL
What happens when calcium chloride reacts with water?
Calcium + Chlorine --> Calcium Chloride Ca + Cl --> CaCl Balanced Equation: Ca + Cl2 --> CaCl2 Calcium has a 2+ charge, while chlorine has a 1- charge. Therefore you need two chlorine ions to balance the charges.
What is the name for the compound CaCl4?
The ionic compound with the formula unit CaCl2 is calcium chloride. Generally, when you name an ionic compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal, the name of the metal is first and is not altered. The nonmetal is named second and the end is changed to the suffix -ide.
What is the chemical formula for calcium clouride?
CaCl
How is the compound CaCl is named?
Not a clue, but CaCl2 is calcium chloride.
What is the nature of the CaCl bond in a molecule of calcium chloride CaCl2 if the electronegativity value of calcium is 1.0 and that of chlorine is 3.16?
The CaCl bond would be polar ionic.
Why isn't ca cl calcium dichloride?
Because CaCl is Calcium Chloride CaCl2 would be Calcium Dichloride
Is CaCI an example of ionic bonding?
What is 'CaCl' ??? If you mean calcium chloride, then the formula is 'CaCl2'.
Ca2 plus CL equals CaCL2?
No, one atom of the element Calcium (Ca) reacts with a molecule of Chlorine Gas which has two atoms of chlorine (CL2) to form on molecule of Calcium chloride (CaCl2) :-Ca + CL2 = CaCL
What is the name CaCL2?
CaCl is the elements calcium and chlorine. Calcium chloride is CaCl2.
What is the product of NaOH and CaCL?
The reaction is: CaCl2 + Na2CO3 = 2 NaCl + CaCO3 The final products are sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
Is CaCI a ionic or covalent compound?
One formula unit of calcium chloride, CaCl2, contains a calcium ion, Ca2+, and two chloride ions, Cl-.
Is CaCl act as sublime?
No, CaCl2 does not sublime. Sublimation is the process by which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) undergoes decomposition upon heating, resulting in the formation of calcium oxide and hydrochloric acid gas.
Is cacl ionic or covalent?
What is 'cacl' if you mean 'CaCl2' then it is ionic. CaCl2 ( Calcium Chloride will dissolve in water). NB When writing chemical formulae ; #1 ; Single letter symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letteer e.g. 'C' (Carbon) #2 ; Two letter symbols are writewen as , first letter is a capital letter, and the second letter is small/lower case. e.g. Ca(Calcium) NOT 'ca' nor 'cl'. #3 please make sure you place in the subscripot number after the given elemental symbol. These are the internationally recognised standards.
Is CaO covalent?
Calcium chloride is a compound between a metal and nonmetal. The difference in electronegativity between these elements is great. Therefore, CaCl2 is an ionic compound with ionic bonds
What is the Chemical name for Cacl in chemistry?
The name of Cacl is calcium Chloride
