Each of the singly bonded O are -1.
To learn how to do it yourself, read this website and commit the steps (summarized) to memory. A lot of practice (available on same site) with the steps helps you get it faster.

No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
Calcium phosphate is the chemical name for the molecular compound of the formula Ca3(PO4)2. The Lewis dot structure representing calcium phosphate is:
CaCO3 does not have a lewis structure because this molecule is composed of ions. (Ca+2 and CO3-2). you have to draw the lewis structure of the ions separately, as shown in the parenthesis.
[:o=n=o::]2+
The number of valence electrons in the atom.

It represents 2 valence electrons.

The answer is 12. If you draw the lewis dot structure for formaldehyde, you have to remember to draw the non-bonding pairs on the oxygen atom, and when you count all the electrons, remember that the lines used to represent bonds are counted as 2.
okay ay man its Benny J jammin. havent got a clue . help me out
Using the periodic table of elements you can find the oxidation number of NaHCO3. Na has a charge of +1 so it's oxidation number is +1. H has a charge of +1 so again, the oxidation number is +1. CO3(carbonate) has an oxidation number of -2. As far as I know, you can find the oxidation number for CO3 because all charges together come out to be zero. With Na and H adding up to 2, CO3 can be seen to be -2. Also, CO3 is -2 because it's Lewis structure is two electrons short from being complete.
that would depend on if it in its elemental state or bonded, but its general electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^1 the Lewis dot structure is .. . B. .
. Sr .There should be two valence electrons around the element since Strontium is in the second column of the periodic table and has two valence electrons filling the 5s shell.
