Here is what i have...Ca(s)+2Cl(g)->CaCl_2(s) and it says this is wrong

That looks correct to me, but I think you're forgetting the "charge" on calcium. Otherwise, how would you know to neutralize the calcium with two chlorine atoms.

The answer actually ended up being Ca(s)+Cl(g)->CaCl(s)
No charges were required.
