* Barium (Ba) is the element you're looking for, not calcium (Ca). Barium has a +2 charge (Ba²⁺).
* Hydroxide (OH) has a -1 charge (OH⁻).
* Calcium chloride is formed from calcium (Ca²⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻), not barium.
To form calcium chloride (CaCl₂):
* Calcium has a +2 charge (Ca²⁺)
* Chloride has a -1 charge (Cl⁻)
* To balance the charges, you need two chloride ions for every one calcium ion.
So, the correct formula for calcium chloride is CaCl₂.
Let me know if you'd like to know the formula for a compound containing barium and hydroxide!
