SUMMARY

A Titanium Ion with a charge of +2 indicates that it has lost two electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Conversely, if a Titanium Ion has a charge of -2, it has gained two electrons, leading to a net negative charge. The charge of an electron is approximately -1.6 x 10-19 coulombs, making the total charge of a -2 ion equal to 3.2 x 10-19 coulombs. This discussion clarifies the relationship between electron loss/gain and ionic charge.

PREREQUISITES

So if a Titanium Ion has a charge of +2, does that mean it has a whole charge of twice the electron charge...so 2Xe?

I don't rally understand what you meant.

If it has a charge of +2 , it means that it has lost 2 electrons.
 
Right sorry I meant -2, if there is an ion with -2 would it have s total charge of 2xe?
 
Yes. It's because it has gained two electrons. It was previously having a net charge of 0. Now that it has gained two electrons it will have a net charge of double the charge of an electron
 
Yes! And the value is 3.2*10^(-19)
