Carbonic acid is a WEAK Bronsted acid......

Explanation:

$H_{2} C O_{3} (a q) + H_{2} O (l) \to H_{3} O^{+} +^{-} O (O =) C - O H$ $H_2CO_3(aq) +H_2O(l) rarr H_3O^(+) + ""^(-)O(O=)C-OH$

$Carbonic acid \to bicarbonate ion$ $"Carbonic acid "rarr" bicarbonate ion"$

Most of the time we can treat carbonic acid, $H_{2} C O_{3}$ $H_2CO_3$ , as hydrated carbon dioxide: i.e. $H_{2} C O_{3} \equiv {(O =)}_{2} C \cdot H_{2} O$ $H_2CO_3-=(O=)_2C*H_2O$ . The oxidation states are the same.
