CaCl2 is calcium chloride

um.. you're asking if, besides CaCl2 (calcium chloride) there is another compound that is CaCl?
The short answer would be that a Calcium atom has 20 electrons, so it 'wants' to combine in a way that gets rid of two extra electrons. If it combines with just one Chlorine, then it would still have one more electron to donate, so a CaCl combination would be 'looking' for something else to combine with, such as another Chlorine. So, it probably wouldn't stay as CaCl very long.

Calcium Chloride does exist and has many uses. Some of them are: alternate coolant, food additive, road deicer. Too much in the human body is associated with some cancers.

Calcium hypocloride. I attended chemistry class in 1967, but I don't remember this compound or Ca with a valence of +1. So I can't say whether it exists.

The correct formula is CaCl2 (one calcium atom and two chlorine atoms). It's called calcium chloride.

CaCl2 is calcium chloride. One molecule of Ca won't bond with one molecule of Cl

Its actually CaCl2. Calcium Chloride.
CaCl2 ---> Ca + Cl2

no..hw cn it??.. d valency of Ca iS +2 n of Cl is -1.. so CaCl is not possible...d compound is CaCl2.
