What happens if a conventional flow and a electron flow meet?

If a conventional flow (positive charge moving from positive to negative) and an electron flow (negative charge moving from negative to positive) meet, they will simply cancel each other out since they are opposite in direction. The net result will be a neutralized electrical system.

What is the charge of ions and positive ions?

There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
