Answer:

+2

Step-by-step explanation:

An ion is an electrically charged particle consisting of an atom or molecule that is not electrically neutral. In the case in which an atom loses 2 electrons, its charge is positive and is symbolized as +2.

For examples common ions that have lost two electrons are: Fe2+, Mn2+.
