In chemistry, you just put Ca2+ but you can't type that on YA wordprocessor because the 2+ part is supposed to be higher than the Ca part.
In medicine, you just write Ca++ and it is most common in all the biochem/medical people. For that, also the ++ is written up higher than the Ca.

It can be written as 'Ca2+' or 'Ca++', indicating 2 more Protons than Neutrons. The 2+ and ++ are normally in superscript..not possible in this programme.

Ca++ (the positive ion has lost 2 electrons hence 2 positive charges)

Ca2+, the 2+ is right superscripted
