Oxygen (O) atoms have six valence electrons and beryllium (Be) atoms have two valence electrons. Which of the following is the correct formula for a compound made of oxygen and beryllium?

Verified Answer :

Since they will make an ionic bond each filling out eight valence electrons through electron sharing the formula would be: BeO

The study of chemicals and bonds is called chemistry. There are different types of elements and are metals and nonmetals,

The correct answer is mentioned below.

What is valency?

  • The valence or valency of an element is the measure of its combining capacity with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules.

According to the question, they will make an ionic bond each filling out eight valence electrons through electron sharing the formula would be: BeO

Hence, the compound will be BeO.
