Electronic configuration of beryllium: 1s2.2s2.
An element with 2 energy levels and 2 electrons in the outer layer is beryllium (Be). Beryllium has an atomic number of 4, with 2 electrons in the first energy level and 2 electrons in the second energy level, making it a neutral atom.
You question is a bit incorrect. Beryllium is a metallic element in Group (II) of the Periodic Table. Being in Group (II) it will have a strong tendency to loose electrons(ionisation). In its neutral state beryllium has the electron structure of 1s2, 2s2, This means that its inner most electron shell (1s) contains two electrons. Its outer most electron shell (2s) also contains two electrons. When beryllium ionises two electrons , they are 'lost' from the outer most (2s) electron shell. They are further from the nucleus of the atom and are not so strongly held.!!!!! When these two electrons have 'gone' , the Beryllium atom is now the Beryllium ION. (It is no longer an atom). Formulaically it is written as Be(g) = Be^(2+) + 2 e^(-) So for beryllium atom to become a Beryllium ION it LOSES TWO electrons.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
The overall charge of a beryllium atom is neutral, meaning it has the same number of protons (+) in the nucleus as it does electrons (-) surrounding the nucleus. Beryllium has 4 protons and typically 4 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge.
Calcium has the electron configuration [Ar]4s2; the neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons.
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.
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.
An element with 2 energy levels and 2 electrons in the outer layer is beryllium (Be). Beryllium has an atomic number of 4, with 2 electrons in the first energy level and 2 electrons in the second energy level, making it a neutral atom.
Beryllium has 4 electrons

The most important isotope of beryllium - 9Be - has 5 neutrons. The neutral atom of beryllium has 4 electrons.
A neutral atom of Beryllium has 4 electrons. (Its atomic number is 4)
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
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.
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The overall charge of a beryllium atom is neutral, meaning it has the same number of protons (+) in the nucleus as it does electrons (-) surrounding the nucleus. Beryllium has 4 protons and typically 4 electrons, resulting in a neutral charge.
