Group 2 = 2 valance electons. Row 2 = Second energy level. = 1s2, 2s2. Confirm this with Beryllium being the fourth element and having four electrons - check.
beryllium
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
Beryllium and magnesium have two electrons in their outermost energy level, as do all Group 2 elements.
hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium
beryllium
They are electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are the electrons that are either shared, lost, or gained in the proccess of forming chemical compounds
There are more than two such atoms. Perhaps there was a list of atoms you had to chose from. Anyway, two such atoms are beryllium and magnesium.

Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
