Mineral group whose members contain one or more metallic elements plus the carbonate radical (CO3). Most carbonates are lightly colored and transparent when pure. All carbonates are soft, brittle, and [..]

Chemical compounds related to carbon

Salts or Ions of the theoretical Carbonic Acid, containing the radical CO2(3-). Carbonates are readily decomposed by Acids. The carbonates of the Alkali Metals are Water-soluble; all others are insolu [..]

Inorganic Salts that contain the -HCO3 radical. They are an important factor in determining the pH of the Blood and the concentration of bicarbonate Ions is regulated by the Kidney. Levels in the Bloo [..]

chemical compounds derived from carbonic acid or carbon dioxide

Compounds in which one or more metallic or semimetallic elements combine with the carbonate radical. Calcite is the most common carbonate.

Group of minerals that contain one or more metallic elements plus the carbonate radical (CO3). Most are lightly colored and transparent when pure. All carbonates are soft, brittle, and effervesce when [..]

the collective term for the natural inorganic chemical compounds related to carbon dioxide that exist in natural waterways.

Sedimentary rocks whose major mineral (over 50%) constitute carbonates. The most important carbonate rocks include limestones, dolomites chalk and tufa. A  popular type of reservoir rocks.

Sedimentary rocks composed of calcium and/or magnesium carbonate e.g. limestone, chalk.
