Answer:

CaCl2

CaO

Al2O3

AlCl3

You can do this by swapping the values of charges on the ions as below

eg- Ca2+ - 2

Cl- - 1

Now combine 1 Ca atom and 2 Cl atoms and it will give you CaCl2

Al 3+ - 3

O2- - 2

Combine 2 atoms of Al and 3 atoms of O

Al2O3

In the case of CaO, we have to make sure that the atoms are in their simplest ratio. So although we get Ca2O2, CaO is the correct form
