What is the oxidation state of beryllium?

the oxidation state of beryllium is +2


What is the chemical state for beryllium?

It is an element, number 4 in the p.t. and mass of 9 a.m.u.


How many electrons are in the outer level of beryllium?

In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. Since the number of protons is the atomic number of an atom, and Beryllium has an atomic number of 4, this means that Beryllium has 4 protons in its nucleus. As mentioned previously, if the atom is electrically neutral, then Beryllium will also has 4 electrons.


Why temperature is important in changing the state of material in the interior part of the earth?

Temperature plays a crucial role in changing the state of materials within the Earth's interior because it affects the physical and chemical properties of rocks and minerals. As temperature increases with depth, materials can transition from solid to liquid, such as the melting of mantle rocks to form magma. This temperature-driven process influences geological phenomena like volcanic activity and plate tectonics, as well as the formation of different rock types. Additionally, temperature impacts the viscosity and behavior of molten materials, which are essential for understanding Earth's dynamic processes.


What are alkaline earth metals?

They are a series of elements, or metals, on the Periodic Table of Elements. The alkaline earth metals are: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium (i.e, the ones with two electrons in their outer shell and common oxidation state +2, right next to the alkali metals with common oxidation state +1). They're all silvery-colored and soft, and they combine with water to form alkaline hydroxides, but not as readily as the alkali metals do.
