    Given

    Mass number of isotope = 63

    Number of neutrons = 33

    So number of protons = 63 - 33 = 30

    Hence atomic number of metal = 30

    thus metal is = zinc

    now as it is forming cation with 28 electrons it means it has lost two electrons so it must have a dipositive charge

    the symbol of metal ion will be

    Zn^+2
