A ii7 chord is a minor seventh chord built on the second degree of the (usually major) scale. Thus in C major it would consist of the notes D-F-A-C, or in A major it would consist of B-D-F#-A. It is a predominant, usually resolving to some sort of V, with the chord seventh (scale degree 1) resolving down by step to the leading tone (scale degree 7). The chord is used probably most often in first inversion, in which case it is usually labelled ii6/5

The equivalent in the minor mode is iiø7, also usually found in first inversion. The only difference is that the chord fifth (scale degree six) is a chromatic semitone lower. Thus in C minor it would D-F-Ab-C, and in A minor B-D-F-A. It functions the same way, resolving to V with the chord seventh dropping to the leading tone.
