karbonaattisidoksia
Karbonaattisidoksia is a Finnish term that translates to "carbonate compounds" in English. These are chemical compounds that contain the carbonate ion, which has the chemical formula CO3^2-. The carbonate ion is a polyatomic anion consisting of a central carbon atom covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The structure is planar and trigonal, with the negative charge distributed evenly across the oxygen atoms due to resonance.
Carbonate compounds are very common in nature and play significant roles in geological and biological processes.
In biology, carbonate ions are crucial for the formation of shells and skeletons in many aquatic species.
