Answer:

binary and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

CaCl2 or Calcium Chloride is an ionic bond and not a covalent bond. Since there should be sharing of electrons between two atoms to be a covalent bonding. In case of calcium chloride, the calcium gives up an electron to each chlorine atom, becoming Ca2+ ions and chlorine become Cl– ions.
