Be+2
Be has 2 valence electrons. In order to have a noble gas configuration, Be has to lose those electrons. When it does lose those 2 electrons, it would become a cation with a charge of +2
The Honey Badger.
The beryllium cation is Be2+.
The net charge of an ionic compound is equivalent to zero.
Zero. A compound will never have a net ionic charge.
The net charge of any ionic compound is zero, in other words, ionic compounds are neutral.
Zero. The net charge of a compound is always zero.
Beryllium oxide, BeO, not ionic

Beryllium oxide, BeO, not ionic
We know that the alkaline earth metal beryllium (Be) and the halogen chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound beryllium chloride (BeCl2). The equation might look like this:Be + Cl2 => BeCl2
The net charge is zero.
Neutral.
Beryllium in ionic form has a charge of +2. Thiocyanate is a polyatomic ion with a charge of -1. Since ionic compounds like beryllium thiocyanate are neutral, the positively charged ions (cations) and the negatively charged ions (anions) must balance---two -1 anions to balance out the +2 cation. Be2+ + 2 SCN- ---> Be(SCN)2
Helium has no net electric charge. And its electronegativity is zero.
