These questions are from my homeschooling. I'm very confused about these questions, so it would be very helpful if you could explain each one a little.
A) The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the valence shell of beryllium is 8. Would beryllium be more likely to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
B) If beryllium formed an ion, what would be it's chemical formula?
C) With which of the following elements would beryllium most likely form an ionic bond?
Na
Ca
Fe
Br
I think question C would be Ca.
I would just ask my teacher to explain this stuff to me, but I don't have one.
