Carbonate is not a compound at all, because it is not electrically neutral; instead it is a polyatomic ion, with a charge of -2. Most carbonate salts are stable at standard temperature and pressure, but most of them will convert from carbonates to oxides by releasing carbon dioxide when heated sufficiently.
carbonate ion
CO3, also known as Carbonate, has one carbon atom for every three oxygen atoms. gmailgal: i thought co3 was carbin dioxide?....... help me im doing a science project! Kazyan: CO3 is carbon trioxide, which is unstable. CO32- is carbonate, which is stable and a common ion. CO2 is carbon dioxide (Di = 2, Tri = 3)
Al2(CO3)2
Zinc carbonate is an ionic compound with the formula ZnCO3.

iron (III) carbonate
Al2(CO3)2
No such compound exists. Perhaps what is mean is Al2(CO3)3 which is aluminum carbonate.
Zinc carbonate is an ionic compound with the formula ZnCO3.
Calcite
This is the ion carbonate.
Lead carbonate is a neutral compound it contains Pb+2 and CO3-2 ions.
Yes it is an ionic compound because it is form between Fe (iron) and CO3 (carbonate).
A ternary compound is made of three elements. Sodium is an alkali metal with a charge of +1. Carbonate CO3 has a charge of 2-. When writing a formula the net charge for the compound must be neutral. You need two sodiums to cancel out the charge of one carbonate. Na2CO3
Li+ is the lithium ion. CO32- is the carbonate ion. Li2CO3 is lithium carbonate.
