Do metal ions have a positive charge?
On their own metals have no charge. Metal ions have a positive charge.

How do you determine the charge of a multivalent metal in a compound?
To determine the charge of a multivalent metal in a compound, you first need to consider the overall charge of the compound and the charges of the other ions present. For example, if the compound is neutral, the sum of the charges must equal zero. By knowing the charge of the non-metal or polyatomic ion, you can calculate the metal's charge by balancing the total charge in the compound. Additionally, the metal's oxidation state can often be inferred from the compound's name or by using common oxidation states for that particular metal.
Why cant we charge a metal if it and earthed?
Charging a metal object that is earthed is not possible because grounding provides a pathway for electric charge to flow away from the object. When a charged object is connected to the ground, any excess charge will dissipate into the Earth, neutralizing the charge on the metal. As a result, the metal cannot accumulate a net charge while it remains earthed.
What is the total charge of the three identical metal spheres, each with their own charge?
The total charge of the three identical metal spheres, each with their own charge, is the sum of the charges on each sphere.
If you charge the end of a plastic comb and then put the same charge on the surface of a round metal ball what would happen to charge in each case?
When you charge the end of a plastic comb and then transfer that charge to a round metal ball, the charge on the ball quickly spreads out to the entire surface due to the conductive nature of the metal ball. The charge on the comb is transferred to the entire surface of the ball, resulting in a more evenly distributed charge across the metal ball.
When a metal becomes a ion what is its net charge?
This depends on each metal.
What type of metal causes the Roman numerals to be in parenthesis to represent the charge of a metal?
A transition metal.
If a metal emits electrons does that metal eventually gain a positive charge of some sort?
yes. the metal gains positive charge as that loses its neutral state by the loss of electrons
