Beryllium is a metal and while Sulphur is a non-metal. Hence when forming an ionic bond,
Beryllium being a metal looses the electron and sulphur being a non-metal gains the electrons.

What happens to electron in ionic bonds?
In ionic bonding, the metal loses the electron forming the cation and the non metal gains that electron forming the anion
When forming bonds why does fluorine gain rather than lose an electron?
Fluorine gains an electron when forming bonds as fluorine is very electronegative. This behavior is due to the fact that gaining an electron gives fluorine a noble gas electron configuration.
What is the main source of diamond?
diamond is mainly made from carbon atoms tightly bonded together by gaint covalent bonds forming a regular lattice. there is no delocalised electorns and therefore it doesn't conduct electricity.
Chlorine readily gains an electron forming what kind of ion?
negative
In forming this neither atom gains or loses an electron so no ions are formed?
subscript

Negatively charged particles forming part of an atom?

negative
Why is SiH4 a Lewis Acid?
No. Lewis acids are electron acceptors, forming adducts.
In forming the molecule HF the F atom attains the electron configuration of?
Fluorine attains the electron configuration of neon (the nearest noble gas).

How is the electron cloud related to the modern model of an atom?
The atom where we are most likely to find an electron. this area is called the electron cloud.
What is the number of electrons that Br lost in forming?
Br typically gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than losing electrons.
