H2CO3 is carbonic acid. It is a central Carbon atom with one oxygen double bonded to the carbon and two single oxygen's covalently bonded to the carbon. The two oxygens with the single bonds have the hydrogens bonded as well.

Because all the bonds are covalent, it is a molecule and not an ion.
==============
From Pisgahchemist: The catch is that there are NO molecules of H2CO3 in aqueous solution. What we call "carbonic acid" is actually CO2 dissolved in water in equilibrium with H+ and HCO3^-. Carbonic acid is a weak acid, and so you might think that there would be nonionized H2CO3 molecules. That simply isn't the case. H2CO3 molecules don't exist in water. (H2CO3 molecules are thought to exist in interstellar space, but not on Earth, and not in water.)
What else can I help you with?
What is the name for equation H2CO3?
H2CO3 = Carbonic acid It is made by dissolving Carbon dioxide into Water. H2O + CO2 ----> H2CO3
Can be mixed in a solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?
H2CO3 is not used as buffer.
How is H2CO3 formed in nature?
In nature, H2CO3 forms when carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves in water (H2O) to create carbonic acid (H2CO3). This process occurs naturally in bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes, as well as in rainwater. Carbonic acid is also produced in living organisms during respiration when CO2 is released into the bloodstream and reacts with water.
What is the single displacement reaction of Mg plus H2CO3?
Mg + H2CO3 = MgCO3 + H2
How will this reaction be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a catalyst?
h2co3 will be produced faster
How many h ions can the acid h2co3 donate per molecule?
The acid H2CO3 can donate two H+ ions per molecule. This is because H2CO3 is a diprotic acid, meaning it can donate two protons (H+ ions) in a stepwise manner when it dissociates in water.
What is the name for equation H2CO3?
H2CO3 = Carbonic acid It is made by dissolving Carbon dioxide into Water. H2O + CO2 ----> H2CO3
How many atoms does carbonic acid have?
carbon atoms under normal conditions for 4 covalent bonds
Is h2co3 react with water?
h2co3 (aq)--> co2+ h2o
What element is not in the compound H2CO3?
Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen are the elements found in H2CO3
Can be mixed in a solution with H2CO3 to make a buffer?
H2CO3 is not used as buffer.
What coefficient does HCl have in the following balanced equation CaCl2 plus H2CO3CaCO3 plus HCl?
The coefficient of HCl in the balanced equation is 2. This is because the balanced equation shows that 1 molecule of CaCl2 reacts with 1 molecule of H2CO3 to form 1 molecule of CaCO3 and 2 molecules of HCl.
What are the common formula for carbonic acid?
The common chemical formula for carbonic acid is H2CO3. It can also be represented as CO2(aq) + H2O ⇌ H2CO3.
What is the Conjugate base of H2co3?
The conjugate base of H2CO3 is HCO3-. When H2CO3 donates a proton, it forms the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-), resulting in the conjugate base of the acid.
What is the single displacement reaction of Mg plus H2CO3?
Mg + H2CO3 = MgCO3 + H2
How is H2CO3 formed in nature?

Is h2co3 an element?
No.
