What elements neutral atom has 2 energy levels with 2 electrons in the outer layer?

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.


Does beryllium's gains or losses ion?

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.


How many electrons are there in the outer shell of a neutral neon atom?

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.


What is the overall charge of Beryllium atom?

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.


How many electrons are there in the neutral atom which has the ground state outer electron configuration of 4s2?

Calcium has the electron configuration [Ar]4s2; the neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons.

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 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.

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.
