From your knowledge about the distribution of electrons in their shells and from the atomic number (in parentheses), indicate the most likely charge on the ion when this atom forms an ion. (Remember the 2-8-18 shell distribution.)

Hydrogen (1)

+1
-1
2

I'll say that it is +1 since hydrogen is desperate to lose an electron to fulfill the octave rule (that the molecules want to gain 8 electrons and if they can't do it, they want to lose all their electron). Electron is - so if it lose a electron, it becomes +.
Hopefully this helps.
PS. I'm not certain of my answer but it is logical.
