Beryllium should be expected to have a charge of 2+ as is expected of all the elements in Group 2 of the Periodic Table. But its behavior is somewhat different than other Group 2 elements because it has so few electrons. This element tends to form covalent bonds.

All nuclei have a positive charge.

So beryllium-9 has a positive charge.

What is beryllium and chlorine ionic compound formula?

The ionic compound formed between beryllium and chlorine is beryllium chloride, and its chemical formula is BeCl₂. In this compound, one beryllium ion (Be²⁺) combines with two chloride ions (Cl⁻) to achieve electrical neutrality. Beryllium typically has a +2 oxidation state, while chlorine has a -1 oxidation state, necessitating two chloride ions to balance the charge of one beryllium ion.


How many electrons does an ion of beryllium have if it has a -2 charge?

Beryllium is element 4, so the "neutral" atom would have 4 protons and 4 electrons. In order to have a "-2" charge, it would need 6 electrons.
