An ion must be shaped when a neutral atom picks up or loses electrons. 
Since electrons convey a negative charge, picking up electrons will bring about the formation of a contrarily charged ion, or anion. Thus, losing electrons will bring about the formation of an emphatically charged ion, or cation. 
For your situation, the sulfide anion, S^2−1, conveys a(2−) negative charge, which must imply that it picked up electrons. 
All the more particularly, it picked up 2 electrons. A neutral sulfur atom has an atomic number equivalent to 16, which implies that it has 16 protons inside its nucleus and 16 electrons encompassing its nucleus. 
For every electron picked up, the ion's general charge diminishes by 1 unit, which additionally affirms the way that the unbiased sulfur atom picked up 2 electrons to get the (2−) charge.

Are elements always transparent
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

No, the elements are not always transparent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The elements become transparent when the light passes through those elements. Transparency is caused because of the transmission and the passing of the light waves through these elements.

But the metals do not become transparent even when the light waves pass through these metals. Metals do not become transparent because the refractive index in them is very big.
