Chemistryyyy!!!

How do you draw the dot and cross diagrams/ lewis structures for polyatomic ions like a carbonate ion and a ammonium ion and a nitrate ion, and how would you know where the dative coordinate bonds are and which element has lost or gained an electron? Thank you

You can also search on google for example ‘Nitrate lewis structure’ and it will appear before you
