Very positive. Absolutely certain.

OK, an old joke: A Hydrogen atom and a Helium atom are walking down the street, when Hydrogen trips and falls. The Hydrogen atom immediately starts looking for something. The Helium atom says "Did you drop something?" Hydrogen says "I lost an electron."

Helium says "Are you sure?" "Yes", replied Hydrogen; "I'm POSITIVE!"

For each atom, and for each electron level, there is a measure of the force required to remove that electron from the atom. Given a high enough temperature and pressure, it's possible to strip ALL of the electrons from an atom, leaving a bare nucleus. This is typical in stellar cores, but uncommon elsewhere.

Kazyan: Re7+ is the most highly charged that occurs in normal conditions, but science has produced U92+ under extreme ionizing circumstances.
