3 covalent bonds (there are 2 electrons in the first orbital and 5 in the second. You still have room for three more)
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.
I have the same question too!!!Dang I thought I would get a answer I just guessed
Answer:
grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions
Explanation:
We will first write the balanced equation for this scenario
3 CaCl2 + 2 Na3PO4 ----> 6 NaCl + Ca3 (PO4)2
3 Mg(NO3)2 + 2 Na3PO4 -----> 6 NaNO3 + Mg3 (PO4)2
The ratio here for both calcium chloride and magnesium nitrate is 
The number of moles of each compound is equal to
Using the mole ratio of 3:2, convert each to moles of sodium phosphate.
mole of CaCl2 is equal to
Na3PO4
mole of CaCl2 is equal to
Na3PO4
Converting moles of sodium phosphate to grams of sodium phosphate we get
g/mol
grams of sodium phosphate must be added to 1.4 L of this solution to completely eliminate the hard water ions
I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements). This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove. Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon
