Answer:

Charge of the ion is +2 because it has 2 more protons. Hope this helps you.

Explanation:

Lanuel

Since this atomic ion has 5 protons and 2 electrons, its charge is equal to 2+ ions.

What is an ion?

An ion can be defined as an atom or molecule that gains or lost one or more of its valence electrons, thereby, giving it a net electrical charge. Also, the net electrical charge can either be positive or negative.

In this scenario, the atomic ion has five (5) protons and two (2) electrons, so it would have to loose two (2) electrons and as such it would have a dipositive charge (2+ ions).
