Beryllium 9 and Beryllium 10, however, beryllium 10 is not a fully stable element, and will decay in the course of something like 1 billion years, so is often considered stable nonetheless.

Hydrogen is not radioactive; its two most common isotopes are stable.
Two most common alkaline earth metals are Beryllium and Magnesium, while the most common alkali hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.
Sodium-23 and Sodium-22 are two common isotopes of sodium. Na-23 is the only stable isotope of Sodium. Na-22 is one of the two isomers (the other of which is Na-24). -V
Most elements contain a mixture of two or more isotopes.
An element is defined as atoms with the same number of protons (and thus electrons). Beryllium has 4 protons and 4 electrons. The number of neutrons is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. At least three isotopes of Beryllium have been identified but there is only one stable naturally occurring isotope - Beryllium 9. If there are 4 protons, there must be 9 - 4 = 5 netrons in this isotope. The other stable isotope is beryllium 10 with a half life of 2,700,000 years and this must have 6 neutrons. This does not occur naturally but is made in atomic reactors. The other identified isotope is Beryllium - 8 which is made in the same way but immediately splits into two helium nuclei. So for most naturally occurring Beryllium, there are 5 Neutrons.

The valence of beryllium is two.
The same numbers of protons and of electrons; the difference between isotopes is in the number of neutrons.
The number of protons is the same.
No, all elements have so called isotopes, meaning that the number of neutrons in the nucleus differs from the most common isotope. Hydrogen, for example, has three known isotopes: 11H, 12H, 13H, where the first one is the most common. They solely in their number of neutrons, not protons. The last two isotopes are less stable, hence less common.
The proton and electron number are equal for all isotopes of the same specific element.
I might be wrong but: I know that beryllium has two electrons total and the first ring can only fit two electrons so the number of valance electrons is most likely two. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
2 electrons. He-4 and He-3 are the two most occuring isotopes.
Sodium-23 and Sodium-22 are two common isotopes of sodium. Na-23 is the only stable isotope of Sodium. Na-22 is one of the two isomers (the other of which is Na-24). -V

The number of protons is identical.
