Answer:
The molecular formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2.
You know that calcium is a group 2 element and has two valence electrons. You also know that Cl is a group 7 and has 7 valence electrons. You would take the two available electrons on the Ca, and combine with two Cl atoms. Place two dots around calcium and seven dots around two Cl atoms and connect the bonds like this Ca--Cl as shown below.
