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