CaO, or Calcium Oxide, is a compound. The 6 you have in front of it is not part of the chemical formula, though. The 6 simply serves as a coefficient in chemical equations to ensure that the equation is balanced properly. The 6 means six moles of that substance are present in ratio to the other reactants and products.
