this is the emperical formula for the Bicarbonate ion
When studying chemistry, it is important to be able to know what things are based on their chemical formula. HCO3 is Bicarbonate.
The ion of the formula HCO3- is called bicarbonate ion. for example NaHCO3 is called sodium bicarbonate
Hydrogen Carbonate or bicarbonate.
Bicarbonate

aluminium bicarbonate.
The chemical name is calcium hydrogen carbonate.
This looks like it would be zinc(IV) carbonate, but that is not possible, since Zn has only one oxidation state, and that is 2+. So, the compound should be Zn(HCO3)2 as HCO3 (bicarbonate) has an oxidation number of 1-. So, Zn(HCO3)4 would not exist.

The chemical name for it is sodium hydrogen carnonate ...
Na HCO3
This ion is called hydrogencarbonate.
aluminium bicarbonate.
HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.
The chemical name is calcium hydrogen carbonate.
The bicarbonate ion (hydrogen carbonate) is an anion with the empirical formula HCO3− and a molecular mass of 61.01
This looks like it would be zinc(IV) carbonate, but that is not possible, since Zn has only one oxidation state, and that is 2+. So, the compound should be Zn(HCO3)2 as HCO3 (bicarbonate) has an oxidation number of 1-. So, Zn(HCO3)4 would not exist.
