How many electrons are in the outer level of beryllium?

In an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. Since the number of protons is the atomic number of an atom, and Beryllium has an atomic number of 4, this means that Beryllium has 4 protons in its nucleus. As mentioned previously, if the atom is electrically neutral, then Beryllium will also has 4 electrons.
