No, a gamma ray does not have a plus two charge. A gamma ray is electromagnetic energy, and has no charge at all. It is the alpha particle, a type of particulate radiation, that has a charge of plus two. Use the links below for more information.

What are the Highest frequency rays?
Gamma rays.
When food is irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source does the food become radioactive?
No. Gamma rays will not make materials radioactive.
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gamma rays x rays and ultraviolet rays?
true
What type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space is?
Electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum, so energy transfer can occur in the form of light, heat, x rays, gamma rays, gamma rays etc.
What can doctors and industry use to diagnose problems?
gamma rays
Do gamma rays have negative charge?
No, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation which has no charge.
Why do gamma rays have no mass at all?
Gamma rays are electromagnetic rays and thus have no charge or mass.
What is the charge of gamma rays?
it has no charges
Why gamma rays no charge?
No. Gamma rays are massless and have no charge
How do the electric charges of alpha beta and gamma rays differ?
Alpha rays are positively charged, beta negatively charged and gamma rays is an electromagnetic wave(like light) which has no charge. They have obtained their charges on basis of where they originated from within the atom.
True or false gamma rays are negitively charged?
False. Gamma rays are photons (light pieces), and have zero charge.
What are the components of gamma rays?
Gamma rays consists of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge
Does gamma ray have negative charge?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, essentially just a high-frequency form of light invisible to human eyes. Like all light, gamma rays do not carry any electrical charge.
Does an atomic increase through gamma radiation?
it remains the same gamma rays have no mass and no electrical charge
What is the relative charge of gamma particles?
The gamma particle's symbol is the lowercase Greek gamma, the velar, which looks like a lower case western v, but the base has a narrow loop, and the left top has a curved serif. In print, it looks like a Y, shifted down as if it were a lower case letter with a descender. We can't represent it here on Answers.com, but the Related Link below will take you to WikiPedia where you can see a representation of it. The charge of a gamma particle is that of the photon, which is zero.
Gamma rays are emanations that have?
D. No mass or charge -Castle learning.
Why do you think gamma rays are drawn as wavy lines?
because they have no charge
