Formula of calcium hydroxide ?

Answer:
CLOH THIS IS THE FORMULA FOR
The explanation on the calculation of Chemical Formulae of calcium hydroxide is hereunder:
calcium hydroxide, commonly known as slaked lime has a wide range of applications. It is an inorganic chemical compound available in white color or is colorless. It is formed by the combination of calcium and hydroxide ions.
When a calcium atom gives its two electrons from the outermost orbit and two hydroxide ions take one electron each, both get bonded.
So, Ca (cation) + (OH)² (anion) → CaOH² (chemical formula of Potassium Chloride)
The above is possible by the following chemical reaction:
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)² (Reactants dissociate to form a new product)
Hence, the chemical formula calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)²
