This formula should be correctly written as 'CaCO3'. Note the capital 'O' for oxygen.

It is the formula for calcium carbonate. In the world at large calcium carbonate is known as limestone, chalk, or marble.

It's Ca2CO3, and its calcium carbonate.

Ca2CO3 is actually incorrect.

Calcium (Ca) has a 2+ charge.

Carbonate (CO3) has a 2- charge.

Ca2+CO32- -> CaCO3

Calcium carbonate is commonly called chalk, as it once was the primary ingredient in blackboard chalk.

You are a bit confused. There is a Periodic Table of the elements, but there is no periodic table of compounds; compounds are not periodic in nature. The compound that you describe as CaCO does not form; the closest that we have is calcium carbonate, which is CaCO3.
