Answer is: beryllium-10.
The diagram shows that atom has 4 protons, 5 neutrons and 2 valence electrons.
Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element, beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4.
Two valence electrons means that atom is from 2. group of periodic table, only beryllium is from that group; sodium (1. group), boron (13. group) and carbon (14. group).
Beryllium-10 has 6 neutrons, so it is isotope (different number of neutrons or mass number).
