Pretty much any element is identified by its atomic number or number of protons; in the case of beryllium it has four of them in its nucleus. It's somewhat a matter of convention that it is beryllium by definition so long as it has those four protons; any element might be in a different oxidation state having gained or lost electrons, or be a different isotope by varying the number of neutrons, but the atomic number or number of protons is used to identify elements.
