CaO is calcium oxide. It consists of one calcium ion (Ca2+) ionically bonded to one oxide ion (O2-). It is commonly referred to as lime or quicklime.

The second compound is properly written as Ca(OH)2 with the OH in parentheses to indicate that there are two hydroxide (OH-) ions rather than just two hydrogen atoms.
