==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A [[Metal Carbonate]] is a [[Base|basic]] [[Metal Compound|metal compound]] made of one or more [[Metal]] [[atom]]s and one or more [[Carbonate]]s that have the [[Chemical Formula|formula]] CO<sub>3</sub>
===About Metal Carbonates===
: [[Metal Carbonate]]s have a [[pH]] greater than [[Neutral (Chemistry)|7]]
: Some [[Metal Carbonate]]s are [[insoluble]] [[solid]]s.
: Some [[Metal Carbonate]]s [[dissolve]] in [[water]] to make [[Metal Hydroxide]]s which are [[alkali]]s.
