The hybridization of the carbon atom in the carbonate ion is to have three orbitals on the carbon atom that will be used to form sigma bonds.

∙ 2014-10-19 13:12:03The central carbon atom in the carbonate, CO32- , ion is sp2 hybridised. The ion is planar with a bond angle of 120 0.
Molecular formula for a carbonate ion: (CO3)-2 A carbonate ion has 30 protons (6 are from the carbon atom and 8*3 are from the three oxygen atoms) and 32 electrons.
According to me the valency of carbon is 2 Actually.. the valency of a carbonate ion (not carbon alone) is 2- and the valency on carbon is 4
well as you can see carbon can be used for carbonation so there must be many
Carbonate is CO32- ion and the oxidation numbers are +4 for carbon and -2 for each oxygen.
The central carbon atom in the carbonate, CO32- , ion is sp2 hybridised. The ion is planar with a bond angle of 120 0.
Carbonate ion is in a trigonal planar shape (hint: sp2 hybridization)
CO3-2 is the carbonate ion.
Molecular formula for a carbonate ion: (CO3)-2 A carbonate ion has 30 protons (6 are from the carbon atom and 8*3 are from the three oxygen atoms) and 32 electrons.
The chemical formula for a carbonate ion is CO32-. This means that there is one atom of carbon and three oxygen atoms, so there are four atoms.
Calcium ions (Ca 2+), and carbonate ions (CO3 2-). A carbonate ion is made up of a carbon atom surrounded by 3 oxygen atoms.
No. The carbonate ion contains only carbon and oxygen. Since it is a negative ion, it must combine with some positive ion. If that positive ion is calcium, you get calcium carbonate.

No, it is made our of pure carbon. A carbonate contains both carbon and oxygen, usually in the carbonate (CO32-) ion.
A carbon carbonate don't exist. Thew ion carbonate is CO3-; a metal carbonate has the chemical formula MeCO3.
how many protons does the carbonate ion have?
No. A carbonate ion consists of carbon and oxygen. A silicate ion consists of silicon and oxygen.
