In the case of the calcium ion, we have a calcium element with a positive charge of 2. Positively charged atoms are called cations. This simply means that the element calcium needs two more electrons to equal the number of protons that it has; this balances the charge, or makes it zero

Hope this helps :)

An atom often lose or transfer its valence electrons so as to form an ion. The atom that can most likely to form an ion with a charge of 2+ is Zinc.

  • Atoms can exist in 2 state. They can act as ions with a positive charge called cation and as negative charge called anion.

The formation of cations or anions is often based on the number of valence electrons of the atom. The atoms often gain or lose an electron so that they can have a  stable or  a complete octet.

The valence electrons of an atom is often used to know the type of charge it will have when it formed an ion.
