Rules for Oxidation Number -

In all its compounds, flourine has an oxidation number of -1. Another halogen (Cl, Br, and I) also have an oxidation number of -1, when they occur as halide ions in their compound.

Halogens usually have an O.N. of -1 in their compounds.

O.N.(Ca) + (-2 x O.N(Cl))= 0

O.N.(Ca) + (-2 x (-1))= 0

O.N.(Ca) = +2
