Explanation:

A cation is formed when an atom loses electrons. Since electrons are negatively charged, losing them results in a net positive charge. The number of protons determines the element. An atom with 24 protons is chromium. The charge of the ion is calculated by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons ($24 - 22= + 2$).

Answer:

1. positively
2. Chromium ion (or $Cr^{2+}$)
