    The cation is positively charged and has a charge twice that of the anion, for example + 2. The anion is negatively charged and in our example where the cation has a + 2 charge, it must have a - 1 charge. In order for the charges to equal zero, there must be two anions: - 1 x 2 = - 2 So the answer is D. AX2
