we cannot write c2h2 as CH because this doesn't show the number of atoms present in the molecule.

we can write calcium oxide as so because valencies are divided by the highest common factor whereas in hydrogencarbons their valencies are different.

hope you now understand and satisfied !

stay safe and stay learning
