    Answer: + 2

    Explanation:

    Proton number = Electron number = Atomic number

    (Provided the element is in unreacted state)

    But, proton number = 26

    And electron number = 24

    This means the element has lost two (2) electrons thereby making it a positively charged ion.

    So, the ion is + 2
