    The ionic formula for calcium oxide is simply CaO. The Calcium ion is an Alkaline earth metal and wants to give up the 2 s orbital elections and become a + 2 cation. Oxygen has six valence electrons and is looking to gain two electrons to complete the octet (8) electron count in the valence shell making it a - 2 anion.
