Na⁺ represents a positively charged sodium ion and a sodium ion that has lost an electron. It indicates that the sodium atom has one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. It does not represent a negatively charged sodium ion or a sodium ion that has gained an electron.
Different elements within the compound/ion.
Both the iron ion and the zinc ion carry positive charges while the sulfide ion carries a negative charge. Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other.
Both the iron ion and the zinc ion carry positive charges while the sulfide ion carries a negative charge. Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other.
In the formula Fe2O3, the iron ion present is Fe3+. This means that each iron ion has a +3 charge, which balances with the -2 charge on each oxygen ion in the compound.
the great compromise
Chloride ion: Cl-

What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
Na⁺ represents a positively charged sodium ion and a sodium ion that has lost an electron. It indicates that the sodium atom has one more proton than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. It does not represent a negatively charged sodium ion or a sodium ion that has gained an electron.
Cl- This is the symbol of a chlorine ion that gains one electron

The symbol used to represent the chloride ion formed when chlorine gains one electron is Cl-.
In the Lewis dot structure for the phosphate ion (PO₄²⁻), you would represent 32 electrons - 5 from phosphorus and 7 from each of the four oxygen atoms, for a total of 32 electrons.
