Warning:

Just read formulas with chlorine or chloride in it very carefully and spell it accordingly correct:

It is NOT 'CI' (capital 'ce' plus capital 'ai') but 'Cl' (capital 'ce' plus lower case 'el').

Chemically these symbols are for totally different elements:

'C' (capital) is carbon and 'I' (capital) is iodine

Answer:

CaCl2 is called calcium chloride (Ca2+ and 2Cl-)

CaCI2 would have been called Calcium Carbo Iodide if it were exsistant.
