That's it: that's the Lewis structure for CO3 2-. A discussion of resonance chemistry can be had by looking at the CO3(2-).
#Charge of carbon in co3 plus
There's one last thing we need to do: because the CO3 2- ion has a charge of negative 2, we need to put brackets around our Lewis structure and put that negative 2 outside so everyone knows that it is an ion and it has a negative 2 charge. Thus, formal charge present on carbon atom of CO32- ion is plus one (+1) Oxygen atom: Valence electrons on O atom of CO32- ion 06. Because of that, this is the best Lewis structure for CO3 2-. Lewis structure of molecule CO3 2 or carbonate ion has a double bond between one of the oxygen atom and carbon atom, the rest of the oxygen atoms are. So -1 plus -1, that does match up with what we have for the carbonate ion here. The Mg(II) and Fe(III) are distributed randomly among the trioctahedral sheets and the excess positive charge. Carbon has 4 valence electrons Oxygen has six, we have. So the formal charges do make sense here because the black Oxygens here and here both have a formal charge of negative 1 and the Carbon and the other Oxygen are 0. Transcript: Lets do the CO3 2- Lewis structure: the carbonate ion. Therefore, the oxidation state of Carbon must be such that the sum of the oxidation states of all atoms equals -2. We're still using only 24 valence electrons. The overall charge of the carbonate ion is -2.
So this Oxygen still has 8 valence electrons but now the Carbon has 8 valence electrons. Let's move two valence electrons from here to form a double bond with the Carbon. The Carbon, however, only has 6 valence electrons. And then around the Oxygens: 8, 10, and 24. We'll put two electrons between the atoms to form chemical bonds. Carbon is the least electronegative, put that at the center. Add that all up: 4 plus 18 plus 2: 24 valence electrons. Carbon has 4 valence electrons Oxygen has six, we have 3 Oxygens, and this negative 2 means we have an extra two valence electrons. Transcript: Let's do the CO3 2- Lewis structure: the carbonate ion.
