Janet Peck · Answer 1

if an atom gains 2 electrons the charge on the resulting ion will be 2-.

for eg: if chlorine (Cl) gains 2 electrons, then the resulting ion will be Cl2 - because chlorine atoms gains two electrons making the no of electrons from 17 to 19 and gain of electron is indicated by a negative sign.
