    2-; anion

    Explanation:

    1. Charge

    Charge = + 8 - 10 = - 2

    However, when we talk about the charge on an ion, we put the number first, so we say charge is 2-.

    2. Type of ion

    The ion has a negative charge, so it is an anion.

    The nucleus has eight protons (oxygen), so it is an oxyanion.

    The symbol for an oxyanion with two negative charges is O²⁻, and its name is the oxide ion.
