#OH^-#

Explanation:

I think there is some confusion in your question. Calcium hydroxide consists of an ionic bond between a calcium ion, #Ca^(2+)# and a hydroxide ion, #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.
