How many valence shells in beryllium?

Beryllium has one valence shell containing two electrons.


How many valence electrons will beryllium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?

Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule (to fill its outer shell).


How many electron shells are around the nucleus of the berylluim atom?

There are 2 electron shells around the nucleus of a beryllium atom. The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Since beryllium has 4 electrons, 2 electrons will be in the first shell and the remaining 2 electrons will be in the second shell.


How many electrons does beryllium have in all?

A neutral atom of beryllium has 4 electrons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal. An element's atomic number is the number of protons.


How many electrons in each shell or ring outside the nucleus of the beryllium?

Electronic configuration of beryllium: 1s2.2s2.


How many electrons can beryllium lend?

2 because it has two outer shell electrons out of 8 (relevant rule only for the first 20 elements)


How many outer orbital electrons is found in an atom of Be?

Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.


How many valance electrons are in Be?

It is a Group 2 element, therefore it has two outer-shell electrons. To gain a full outer-shell, it loses two electrons to form a cation (cations are positive ions)


How many electrons will the first shell hold?

there are two electrons the first shell hold


How many electrons are in a beryllium ion?

A beryllium ion, like Be2+, has lost two electrons compared to a neutral beryllium atom. A neutral beryllium atom has 4 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 2 in the outer shell. When it loses 2 electrons to become Be2+, it now has 2 electrons remaining, both in the inner shell.
