Answer

a) ion symbol = $Ti^{2+}$ b) ion symbol = $S^{2-}$ c) ion symbol = $Al^{3+}$ d) ion symbol = $Cl^{-}$ e) ion symbol = $Ca^{2+}$

Work Step by Step

a) no. of protons = 22. hence, the element is Titanium. no. of electrons = 20. Hence, charge on the atom = (22-20) = +2. Hence, the symbol of the ion $Ti^{2+}$ b) no. of protons = 16. hence, the element is sulfur. no. of electrons = 18. Hence, charge on the atom = (16-18) = -2. Hence, the symbol of the ion $S^{2-}$ c) no. of protons = 13. hence, the element is Aluminum. no. of electrons = 10. Hence, charge on the atom = (13-10) = +3. Hence, the symbol of the ion $Al^{3+}$ d) no. of protons = 17. hence, the element is chlorine. no. of electrons = 18. Hence, charge on the atom = (17-18) = -1. Hence, the symbol of the ion $Cl^{-}$ e) no. of protons = 20. hence, the element is Calcium. no. of electrons = 18. Hence, charge on the atom = (20-18) = +2. Hence, the symbol of the ion $Ca^{2+}$
