The charge that would be on each ion would depend on the number of electrons present in the valence shell of their neutral atoms.

<h3>Charge on ions</h3>

Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and will readily accept 2 electrons to form an octet. Thus, the charge on sulfur ion would be -2.

Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and will readily accept 3 more to form an octet. Thus, phosphorus ions will have a charge of -3.

Potassium has 1 valence electron and will readily donate this electron to form an octet. Thus, the charge is +1.

Sodium has 1 valence electron and will readily donate this to form an octet. Thus, the charge would be +1.

Strontium has 2 valence electrons which can be donated readily to form an octet. Thus, the charge on its ion would be -2.

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and will readily accept 1 more to form an octet. Thus, its charge would be -1.

Aluminum has 3 readily donatable valence electrons. Thus, the charge on its ion would be +3.
