NASA Ames Research Center shared SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy's video. Welcome back to California, SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy!! We're back at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center after six weeks observing the southern skies from Christchurch, New Zealand.
Report Abuse. Calcium is an element with an ion charge/oxidation number of 2+. Carbonate is a polyatomic ion with an ion charge of 2-. Since the two ion charges cancel out or equal zero, the formula would be CaCO3(the three is a subscript.) the Ca is the symbol for Calcium and the formula for carbonate is CO3.blah Â· 9 years ago.Thumbs up.arbonate is a polyatomic ion with an ion charge of 2-.

Thumbs up.
The chemical formula of calcium carbonate is CaCO3; calcium carbonate contain calcium, carbon and oxygen.t is made up of carbon, oxygen and calcium. A carbonate contains oxygen and carbon so you know that, and then you can see that as it is called calcium carbonate it also conta â¦ ins calcium. :).
