The total charge of the carbonate ion is -2. O2 in CO32- has a total charge of -6 (3 x -2). Hence, to find the charge of carbon -> x + -6 = -2. Therefore, carbon has a charge of +4.
This matches your theory stated whereby
1. Carbon has 4 valence electrons so in this case, it loses 4 electrons to obtain a stable noble octet config. & hence has a charge of +4.
2. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so in this case, it gains 2 electrons & hence has a charge of -2.

PLEASE HELP!! GIVING BRAINLIEST
RSB [31]

Answer:

The answer is "0.00172172603".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass (M) = 1.60 \times  10^{-3} \ g\\\\Density (D) = 9.293 \times 10^{-1} \ \frac{g}{cm^3}\\\\Volume (V) =  ?

Formula:

\to \bold{V = \frac{M}{D}}

       = \frac{1.60 \times  10^{-3}}{9.293 \times  10^{-1}} \\\\  = \frac{1.60 \times  10^{1}}{9.293 \times  10^{3}} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 \times  10}{9.293 \times  1000} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{9.293 \times  100} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{929.3 } \\\\= 0.00172172603
