Answer:

14.

Explanation:

Electrons have a negative charge, and since the atom has a charge of (+2) it would mean there are 14 protons. (2 more than the amount of electrons, to create a positive charge).

Protons also determine the Atomic number so, the atomic number is 14.

Amount of protons = atomic number.
