sulfur what type of ion is it
Magnesium is located in Group II in the periodic table. Every  element in Group II will form an ion with the charge of 2+ by  losing two electrons. Hence, magnesium will for â¦ m the magnesium ion:  Mg2+. Sulfur is located in Group VI in the periodic  table.Every element in Group VI will form an ion with the charge  of 2- by gaining two electron.  Electrons are negative. To have a ne â¦ utral atom, you must have the  same number of electrons as you do protons.    So if Sulfur loses a single electron, it's losing some negativity,  meaning Sulfur will be more positive.   If it loses two, then it becomes even more positive.
