$O H^{-}$ $OH^-$

Explanation:

I think there is some confusion in your question. Calcium hydroxide consists of an ionic bond between a calcium ion, $C a^{2 +}$ $Ca^(2+)$ and a hydroxide ion, $O H^{-}$ $OH^-$ .

The hydroxide ion itself has a single covalent bond between the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms, and so it is a covalent compound ion.
