What should the charge be for calcium and fluoride ions?

Calcium ions have a charge of “2+”because they are in group two (column number 2)

Skip over the transition metals

Fluoride ions would have a charge of
“1-” because they are all the way near the end of the table in the second last group (group 7)

Hope that helps :)
