The Lewis Structure, or Lewis Dot Diagram, shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and any electrons that may exist. The Lewis Structure for Li is Li with one dot to the right of the element.
the Lewis structure for Na is
.
Na
one dot on top, representing the single electron in its outer shell
N bonds to the 3 Os and Na bonds to one of the Os.
O-N-O-Na

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.
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!

I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.
Draw the Lewis Structure
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
See this question for how to draw the Lewis Dot structure of any molecule:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_draw_Lewis_dot_structuresHow do you draw Lewis dot structures?]
