The chemical formula of a carbonate ion is CO3^2-. It is an AX3 system which means it take the trigonal planar shape. There would be two single bonds of C-O and one double bond C-O in order for C to agree with the octet rule. Two minus charges are equally distributed to the three oxygen atoms so that each oxygen of the carbonate ion would have a charge of negative 2/3.

Answer:
First and seventeenth group.
Explanation:
Hydrogen is a special case as it has only one electron in its outermost orbital.
The hydrogen can lose or can accept electron easily.
Thus it can form positive ion similar to alkali metals and negative ion similar to halogens.
Thus it can fall into two groups
a) I group [Alkali metals]
b) 17th Group [Halogens]
<span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
