The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.
The alkali earth metal beryllium (
) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of is:
From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (
).
After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from 
orbital. The electronic configuration will be:
Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as 
.
Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.
Hello!
The balanced equation for the
neutralization of KOH is the following:
HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
To calculate the
volume of HCl required, we can apply the following equation:
So, the required volume of HCl is
541,54 mLHave a nice day!
<span>Out of the possible answers for this question, fluorine in the second period is correct. Of the four elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, fluorine has the largest first ionization energy, with a Enthalpy number of 1681.0. Of all the elements, helium has the highest first ionization energy figure.</span>
