Hi,
The formation of calcium chloride be transfer of electrons is represented as follows;
Ca²⁺ + Cl⁻ --------> CaCl₂
Calcium looses 2 electrons and 2 chloride ions accepts the electrons to form the ionic compound.
Aquaous and molten calcium chloride had mobile ions and this is what is responsible for the electrical conductivity.
Most of the ionic compound conduct electricity while in the molten state. When they are in the solid state, the ions are immobile.
Again note that metals conduct electricity using the free localized electrons.
