Ca -2,8,8,2
O- 2, 6
Now Ca transfers 2 e- to attend stability and O gains two e- to attain stability.
Thus, Ca gets 2+ charge and O gets 2- charge ,hence form CaO

Calcium oxide is formed by transfer of electrons.
Calcium has 2 electrons in its valence shell and oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
Calcium loses 2 electrons and oxygen gains those 2 electrons. in this way calcium and oxygen gain stability and they react to form Calcium oxide.
In this way Calcium oxide is formed.
