Answer: The electron structure of
Be^(2+) ion is
1s^2

Step-by-step explanation: Beryllium is the 4th element of the periodic table.

The electronic configuration of Be-element in its ground state is:


Be(Z=4):1s^22s^2

For the Beryllium element to have +2 charge, two electrons must be removed from the electronic configuration. So, the electronic configuration for the
Be^(2+) ion is:


Be^(2+):1s^2
