The correct Lewis dot structure of bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) has one carbon atom (C) in the center, connected to three oxygen atoms (O) and one hydrogen atom (H).
The structure is as follows:
O \ C / \ O O / H
Each oxygen atom is connected to the carbon atom by a single bond, and the hydrogen atom is also connected to the carbon atom by a single bond. The carbon atom has a formal charge of +1, while the oxygen atoms have a formal charge of -1.
