Not in the slightest.

First, they are not molecules, they are ionic compounds.

Second, they are two very different substances.

CaO is calcium oxide, consisting of the elements calcium and oxygen. It is commonly called lime or quicklime. It is very alkaline (basic) and is commonly used to neutralize acidic soil.

NaCl is sodium chloride, consisting of the elements sodium and chlorine. It is commonly called salt or table salt. It has no acid/base properties. It is commonly used to flavor food and melt ice
