CaCl2 is an Ionic molecule. With Electronegativities of 1.00 and 3.16, a difference of 2.16, this falls into the category of Ionic Bond.
The scale I have always used is 0-0.39 Non Polar Covalent, 0.4-1.79 Polar Covalent and 1.8 and Up Ionic. If you have a sample to test, you could heat it on a hot plate, Ionic compounds don't melt too well, you could also dissolve it in water as ionic compound typically dissolve well in water.

If you mean Chloride compounds, then usually the answer is yes since Chlorine is a highly electronegative substance that strongly attracts the electron cloud density to it to create a permanent dipole.

Is CaF2 a covalent compound?
The bonding in calcium fluoride (not "flouride") is ionic, not covalent.
Is nh 3 polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?
NH3 is a polar-covalently bonded compound.
Is calcium phosphate moderately polar or very polar?
Calcium Phosphate is very polar because it is an ionic compound.
What does the formula Na2CO3 show about the compound?
The name of the compound Na2CO3 is sodium carbonate. It has: 2 atoms of sodium (Na) 1 atom of Carbon 3 atoms of Oxygen bound together with ionic and polar-covalent bonds
In the compound CH3CL the bond between carbon and chlorine is?
Polar Covalent
Is calcium carbonate non polar covalent?
The answer to this question is somewhat strange. Calcium Bromide is an Ionic compound therefore the terms polar and nonpolar don't really apply because there is no bond. There are however two completely different charges between the atoms therefore making it, in a sense, the strongest kind of polar molecule- an ionic polar. So Calcium Bromide is Polar.
Is CaCO3 polar?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an ionic compound (to some extent) , all ionic compounds are polar.
Is ch3oh non polar covalent or polar covalent?
Methanol is a polar covalent compound.
Is it possible for a polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound?
It is not possible for the polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than the non-polar covalent compound because they have ionic bonds.
Is CaF2 a covalent compound?
The bonding in calcium fluoride (not "flouride") is ionic, not covalent.
Is l2 a covalent or ionic compound?
I2 is a non-polar covalent compound.
Can a compound be covalent and polar covalent?
Yes a compound can be both if it has polar bonds that are not matched on the opposite side by the same polar bond.
Is zinc carbonate ionic or covalent?
Zinc carbonate is ionically bonded, which could be viewed as maximally polar, but "polar" in chemistry is usually reserved for a description of covalent bonds.
Is sulphur dioxide made of ionic compound?
No. sulphur dioxide has polar covalent bond and is a polar covalent compound.
Is N2 non polar covalent bond?
N2 is non-polar covalent compound
Is calcium and lithium polar covalent ionic or non covalent?
Calcium and lithium individually are both elements with metallic bonding and not any of polar, covalent, or ionic bonding. They could be described as non covalent.
Is the C6H3CH3 compound ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent?
The formual is suspect- such a compound would be covalent.
