Answer :

+2 charge on an ion means the given ion has 2 extra electrons.

In chemistry,

We often use symbols like plus (+) and minus (-) which is usually written in the superscript of the ions.

As + is given when the given ions have extra electrons.

As we know,

Every atom/ ion needs to complete an octet in its outermost orbit for becoming stable.

So, if in any of the ion +2 is written it means that the given ions have 2 extra electrons present in their outermost orbit and once the ion release those 2 extra electrons it becomes cationic in nature.

Similarly, if -2 is written it means that the given ions have 2 deficit electrons in their outermost orbit, so for becoming cationic the ions need 2 electrons.
