Layman's explanation: Carbonates were studied extensively by geologists. Common carbonate-containing geologic materials are barium calcium carbonate, lead carbonate, and strontium carbonate. Carbonate is the salt of carbonic acid. Many counter ions are possible, including calcium carbonate and barium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a brittle white rock, used in many buildings. Lithium carbonate is used to treat manic phases for bipolar disorder/manic depression. Carbonic acid is found in carbonated beverages, giving them a tart flavor.
Layman's explanation: Carbonate is dianionic trigonal species and is the dianionic form of carbonic acid.
