The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.

Chemistry

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 (Be) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of Be is:1s^{2}2s^{2}

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (2s^{2}).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from 2s orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

1s^{2}2s^{0}

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as Be^{2+}.

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

NEED HELP ON 17,18,19,20,21,22,23. ONLY IF YOU ARE POSITIVE ABOUT THE ANSWER!!!!
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

17. D. Chemical change

18. C. Cell wall

19. D. To transfer matter and energy within and between organisms.

20. A. Transporting materials

21. C. Carbon dioxide

22. A. Cellular respiration

23. C. Produce food and give off oxygen

Explanation:

I have been able to supply the correct answers. The cell wall functions as a structure that provides structural support and protection to the cell. It is tough, flexible and at times rigid. In a chemical change, new materials with new properties are manufactured. So, the process of photosynthesis is a chemical change.

The endoplasmic reticulum actually transports material. It transports materials like protein and lipids made within the cell and sends it to where they are needed.

Carbon dioxide  is the the gas that animals give off and plants use it during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration involves the activities that result to the breaking down of food in order to release energy.
