Thus overall we see carbon atom and one of the three oxygen atomshave completely filled octet while other twooxygen atoms are lacking from just one electron. SO they can receive oneelectrons each and as they receive these twoelectrons, total electronreceived is 2. Hence acarbonate molecule has a -2 charge in it.
