Answer:

CaCl2.

Explanation:

Ions may be defined as the elements that acquires positive or negative charge over them. Two main types of ions are cations and the anions that are formed by the gain or loss of the element.

The calcium has two positive charge over it and contains Ca²+. The chloride contains one negative charge over it and exists as Cl^{-1}.

The chemical formula will be :

Ca²+     Cl^{-1}.

+2               -1  (cross multiply)

CaCl2.

Thus, the formula is CaCl2.
