The internationally accepted IUPAC name for CaCO₃ is calcium carbonate.

At the same time, it should be noted that the specification given in the section of the question, CaCO₂, is incorrect. The calcium carbonate chemical formula is CaCO₃. Calcium carbonate is an ionic compound that consists of one calcium metal cation that carries a two plus charge and one nonmetal anion or carbonate polyatomic ion with a two negative two charge. It is a common compound that is found in rocks and this makes up the facade of pearls, seashells, and even eggshells. in industry, calcium carbonate is used in the production of cement and lime, and it is a constituent of most antacids since archane has acidic properties. The name of the compound is aligned with the naming convention of ionic compounds that have a cation before the anion; calcium carbonate in this case. The given naming system also serves the purpose that a chemist can easily determine the formation of the compound just by the name.
