The carbonate anion has a charge of '2-' , and is shown as 'CO3^(2-) '.
NB Compare with the calcium cation 'Ca^(2+) '.
Notice the charges are the same numerical value but of opposite character. Hence they combine as 'CaCO3' , Calcium carbonate.
The symbol for carbonate ion is CO3^2-, and it has a charge of 2-.
There is NO ionic charge on lead carbonate. (PbCO3). It is a neutrally charged substance. However, The lead cation has a charge of ' 2+ ' . as Pb^(2+) . Correspondingly the carbonate anion has a charge of ' 2- ' , as CO3^(2-) . As their charges are numerically the same at '2' , but of opposite character (+/-) , they ionically combine as lead carbonate (PbCO3). The charged neutralise each other, so that the substance is 'charge-less'. (+)2 - 2 = 0
Copper(II) Carbonate (or Cupric Carbonate) is made up of Copper ions, and Carbonate ions. The coppers have a +2 charge, and carbonate has a -2 charge. The formula is Cu(II)CO3
no ion can be form
Carbonate ions are double negatively charged (2-)CO32-

No carbonate has a negative charge so it is an anion.
The formula for carbonate is CO3^2-, and it has a charge of -2 due to the -2 charge on each oxygen atom. The formula for magnesium ion is Mg^2+, which has a charge of +2 due to the loss of two electrons.
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
The charge for the carbonate ion (CO3) is -2. This is because oxygen typically has a charge of -2, and there are three oxygen atoms in the carbonate ion.
Carbonate ions are double negatively charged (2-)CO32-
The ionization of cesium carbonate: Cs2(CO3) -> 2Cs+ + CO32-. Two Cesium ions with, each with a charge of +1, and one carbonate ion, with a charge of 2-.
Copper(II) Carbonate (or Cupric Carbonate) is made up of Copper ions, and Carbonate ions. The coppers have a +2 charge, and carbonate has a -2 charge. The formula is Cu(II)CO3
the charge is 4 2+C+3(-2)=0 C=4
