Explain how a polyatomic ion such as carbonate (CO32-) exhibits both ionic and covalent character. (Select all that apply.) The carbon and oxygen atoms within carbonate are covalently bonded. O Carbonate forms ionic compounds with other molecules. O Carbonate forms covalent compounds with other molecules. The carbon and oxygen atoms within carbonate are ionically bonded. As a whole, carbonate behaves like an ion due to the 2- charge.
