∙ 9y agoThe beryllium of an atom that has a full outer shell would have no charge. Atoms that have a full outer shell are nobel gasses.

How is beryllium used in everyday life?
well, beryllium is not used in everyday life much. but there are uses where you use it in daily life. you can use beryllium in x-rays. although x-rays are not everyday life things so beryllium is not used in everyday life very much. why? because this element is toxic. you would work with this if you make computers and work with gyroscopes because computers and gyroscopes have beryllium in them. if you work in a nuclear station you would work with it because it has a high melting point. so all I have to say is that beryllium doesn't have a everyday life unless you are a someone who works with beryllium! btw im 11 years old soo dont think this would be wrong.
Which element probably has similar properties to beryllium?
All you have to do is look at which group Beryllium is in and look at the other elements that are in the same column. The gruop of an element can help you determine its chemical properties. That group would be Group 2 with Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.
What would it be like if beryllium wasn't discovered?
In order for beryllium to not be discovered, we have to presume a level of technology roughly equivalent to the 18th century (beryllium was first isolated around 1830). So, dig out your history book and look up that time period. Beryllium is used for high-tech aircraft parts, for nonmagnetic tools for radar and MRI equipment, and for some types of electronics. The chances that any of those applications could exist without a level of technology sufficient to make the existence of beryllium obvious is nil.
What element is an example of an alkaline earth metal?
None. The alkaline earth metal isotope with the fewest neutrons would be beryllium-7 with three neutrons and a half-life of 53 days.
What problems does an exoskeleton cause an arthropod?
I hope this helps (indirect problems) Exoskeleton usually don't cause arthropods problems except when they're growing. Arthropod are like snakes the must break out of their shell in order to grow bigger. When arthropods break out of their shell they must wait until the new skin hardens and becomes a shell again. During this time most arthropods vulnerable to prey due to the lack of protection from their shell Another problem would be the size of a crevice or hole when fleeing predators. If at the time of attack by a predator , the rigidity of the outer shell limits the size of the shelter to escape to.
How can you tell that the beryllium atom is unstable?
You can tell that the beryllium atom is unstable because beryllium only has 2 valence electrons in its outer shell. An atom becomes stable when it has eight valence electrons, so in the case of beryllium it would have to lose those 2 electrons in its outer shell to become stable. often forming a cation with a 2+ charge.
An atom of element X has two outer electrons that do not fill the outer shell is it a metal?
It would be a non-metal and a halogen. Group 18 or the noble gases, all have 8 electrons in their outer shell. Therefore, the group before it would have seven electrons in the outer shell. This group is made up of all non-metals.
Would beryllium tend to lose two electrons or gain six when forming bonds?
Beryllium would tend to lose its two electrons when forming a bond because it is easier to lose its two valence electrons rather than gain an additional five in order to obtain a full outer shell.
What is the outer shell of a chimpanzee?
That would be their skin.
How many electrons does an ion of beryllium have if it has a -2 charge?
Beryllium is element 4, so the "neutral" atom would have 4 protons and 4 electrons. In order to have a "-2" charge, it would need 6 electrons.
Why does a magnesium ion have 2 charge?
Because it has 12 protons and 12 electrons, to gain a full outer shell via ionic bonding the ion looses 2 electrons (-ve) to gain a full outer shell (2,8). Therefore, the ion would have 12 protons (+ve) and only 10 electrons (-ve) making it have a +2 charge.
When calcium forms an ion what is its charge?
Ca has 2 electrons in its valence shell. When ionized, it transfers its 2 extra electrons to another atom in order to stabalize its outer shell. Therefore, it is losing 2 negatively charged particles and gains a charge of "2+".
What is beryllium's chemical formula?
The chemical formula for Beryllium is Be. A Be atom needs to lose 2 electrons to become stable, so it would have a charge of 2+
What would describe the Earth's outer core?
an egg shell....
How many electrons would the atomic structure of Tin have on its outer shell?
There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.
How many electrons would be needed to fill its outer shell for carbon?
4 to fill the 2p shell
When a fluorine atom has seven electrons in its outer shell is it an ion with a plus or minus charge?
A fluorine atom that has seven electrons in its outer shell would be neutral. A negatively charged fluoride ion, Fl-, forms when a fluorine atom gains one electron so that it has an octet, or a noble gas configuration of electrons.
