Technetium is an element, a substance.  Perhaps you mean a technetium atom?  Just one atom of Tc?  Ordinarily, e.g. in a piece of solid Tc metal, it would have a charge of zero.  If the Tc were part of a chemical compound, or dissolved in solution, it might have a charge.  The most likely charge if dissolved would be +2.
