The charge will be +2.
When "x" valence electrons are lost the charge is +x When "x" valence electrons are gained the charge is -x for example, if chlorine gained one electron, the charge would be Cl 1- or, if magnesium lost two electrons, the charge would be Mg 2+
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
An ionic bond would occur between sulfur and barium.
Then it would have 10 electrons and it would have a charge of 1+.
The charge will be +2.
Sulfur normally has 16 electrons, so....,S 2-===A 2 - charge on the anion.
An element you have a +2 charge It is had lost electrons. It would have to lose the same number of electrons that its positive charge is. So it would have lost 2 electrons.
Sulphur (Sulfur in the US) Location of electrons is not important to determine which element it is. 16 electorns means that it would have 16 protons in it's nucleus, so 16 is atomic number of the element. It would have 16 neutrons in it's nucleus too (it is usually one neutron for each proton), which make atomic weight of this element equal to 32.

An element with seventeen protons 9and no charge) would have seventeen electrons as well. If the element were an ion, it would have more or less electrons, depending on its charge.
Look at the periodic table. You see that the element that has 16 protons is Sulfur. Electrons have a single negative charge, while protons have a single positive charge, so an ion with 2 more electrons than protons will have a charge of 2-. So, the symbol of the ion would be S2- .
S for sulfur because the number of protons tells you the atomic number with is 16 and 16 is sulfur. The electrons means it is an ion with two more electrons than protons. The neutrons have no charge but add mass to the element.
Mahnesium is a bivalent element; the cation has the electrical charge 2+.
