Beryllium is the fourth element in the period table, with a mass number of 4 and atomic number 2. It is in group two of the periodic table and  has an unfilled 2p subshell. 

It therefore loses 2 electrons during bonding with other elements to gain a charge of +2 and more stability. This gives it the noble gas configuration.

Beryllium has a charge of +2.
