Explanation:

Beryllium is a group 2 element and its atomic number is 4. Electronic configuration of beryllium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}$ .

Since, a beryllium contains two valence electrons so, in order to attain stability it will readily lose its 2 valence electrons.

Therefore, a beryllium atom upon losing two valence electrons will acquire a +2 charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the net ion charge of Beryllium is +2.

Why are scientists now more excited about sound levitation than they had been previously?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Acoustic tractor beams use the power of sound to hold particles in mid-air, and unlike magnetic levitation, they can grab most solids or liquids even small insects. For the first time engineers have shown it is possible to stably trap objects larger than the wavelength of sound in an acoustic tractor beam. This discovery could enable the manipulation of drug capsules or micro-surgical implements within the body. The discovery could even lead to levitating humans.
