Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

We are given the atom has 10 electrons.

The first electron shell holds 2 electrons (maximum)

The second electron shell holds 8 electrons (maximum)

2+8=10

Therefore we would have 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in the second.

Valence electrons are the outermost electron, and since the second shell is the outermost for the atom, it has 8 valence electrons.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.
denpristay [2]

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.

Write the difference between the reaction of Calcium and Aluminium with water.
guapka [62]

Answer:

Both gives hydroxides, but

Calcium reacts with water to give calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2. this product is slightly soluble in water.

Aluminium  is less reactive than Ca, so it reacts with only steam, to give aluminium hydroxide Al(OH)3. This product is insoluble in water.

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a piston. The volume of the gas is 2.00 L at 0.524 atm. The piston is moved to incre
MAXImum [283]

Answer:0.20L

Explanation:

Data

P1 =0.524atm

V1=2L

P2=5.15atm

V2=?

Apply Boyle' law

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 =P1V1/P2

= 0.524x 2 /5.15

= 0.20 L

Apart from carbon dioxide what is the other product of family decomposition of calcium carbonate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

<h3><em>Calcium carbonate is heated strongly until it undergoes thermal decomposition to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The calcium oxide (unslaked lime) is dissolved in water to form calcium hydroxide (limewater). Bubbling carbon dioxide through this forms a milky suspension of calcium carbonate.</em></h3>
