I understand all that already Sensei, however I still need to know why there are two numbers for charge, a +2 & +4.

            Hey there, I'm doing a small project about the element lead, and I am supposed to write some stuff about the ion charges and I realized that there was two different charges. One that says +2 and then just below it, +4. I'm wondering what that actually means, and if I was going to write it down, should I write a +6, or just +2 and a +4 underneath it. Thanks, I would really appreciate a simple answer, please very simple, since I have to finish the whole project by Monday. I have also spent about twenty five minutes researching and nothing comes up. I already know what the ion charges are and stuff, but I just don't know what the second number is for example: lithium has a charge of +(1) and has 3 protons. that means it has 2 electrons etc. A quick summary, simple answer of what the second number means, and the relation to the first number (if there is any)

            Thank you,
