Respuesta :
The correct chemical formula for the product of the reaction when beryllium and fluorine combine is BF₂.
The valence electron of an atom determines how an atom goes into bonding.
Beryllium(Be) has 4 electron and has 2 valence electron. To fulfil the octet rule, it can easily give out this 2 electron during bonding.
Fluorine(F) has 9 electrons and 7 valency electrons. To fulfil the octet rule, it readily accepts a single electron.
The correct chemical formula for the product of the reaction when beryllium and fluorine combine is BF₂.
This means 1 atom of beryllium combines with 2 atoms of fluorine to form beryllium fluoride. The beryllium give its 2 valency electrons to the 2 atoms of fluorine. The 2 atoms of fluorine will now have a valency electron of 8 each. The octet rule has been fulfilled at this point.
