Answer:

The full name would be Monocalcium Dichloride

Step-by-step explanation:

You have one Calcium atom in the compound, hence Monocalcium. You have 2 Chlorine atoms in the same compound so it would be Dichloride (chloride because there is more than one chlorine). Quick irrelevant note the compound is a type of salt. *YOU COULD ALSO PUT CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND STILL POTENTIALLY GET IT CORRECT*
