Hey, Just want to confirm my answer for this question. I think the answer is e) Cl, but what does the super script 2+ mean on the Sulfur?
Thanks
Which one has the greatest number of protons?
a. ) Si-
b. ) F-
c. ) S2+
d. ) P-
e. ) Cl-

it means it has a electrovalency charge of +2.
yes, your answer is correct.

it means that sulphur ion contains 2+ charge. This means the original sulphur atom looses 2 electrons to form S2+ cation.
