Answer:

One of each

Explanation:

Be is in Group 2, so it loses its two valence electrons in a reaction to form Be²⁺ ions.

Carbonate ion has the formula CO₃²⁻.

We can use the criss-cross method to work out the formula of beryllium carbonate.

The steps are

Write the symbols of the anion and cation.

Criss-cross the numbers of the charges to become the subscripts of the other ion.

Write the formula with the new subscripts.

Divide the subscripts by their highest common factor.

Omit all subscripts that are 1.

When you use this method with Be²⁺ and CO₃²⁻, you might be tempted to write the formula for the beryllium carbonate as Be₂(CO₃)₂

However, you can divide the subscripts by their largest common factor (2).

This gives you the formula Be₁(CO₃)₁.

We omit subscripts that are 1, so the correct formula is

BeCO₃

There is one Be²⁺ ion and one CO₃²⁻ ion in a formula unit of beryllium carbonate.

When hydrogen ................................... a CIS formation exist.
There are two types of formation which are possible in fatty acids, these are CIS and TRANS configurations.
A fat is described as a CIS fatty acid if its hydrogen atoms are lying on the same side of the carbon carbon double bonds. A fat is said to be a trans fatty acid, if the hydrogen atoms in its molecules are lying on the opposite sides of the carbon bonds.
