Hi !
Electronic configuration of Calcium = 2,8,8.2
To attain stability it needs to lose two electrons .
Ca + 2e- -----> Ca ²⁺
Chlorine's electronic configuration = 2,8,7
It needs to gain 1 electron to attain stability
As Calcium needs to give away its two electrons , and 1 atom of chlorine needs only 1 electron more , calcium forms covalent bond with 2 atoms of Chlorine as both would require 1 electron each .
