Draw all the resonating strucutres of the carbonate ion.

Explanation

To draw all the resonating structures of the carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the Lewis Structure of the Carbonate Ion
1. **Count the total valence electrons**:
- Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.
- Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and there are three Oxygens: 3 × 6 = 18.
- The ion has a -2 charge, which means we add 2 more electrons.
- Total = 4 (C) + 18 (O) + 2 (charge) = 24 valence electrons.
