Solution

  • The element would resemble beryllium (Be).
  • The given element has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 2, indicating that it contains two electrons in its outermost shell. It resembles beryllium (Be), which likewise possesses two valence electrons. Elements with the same number of valence electrons have similar chemical characteristics. Thus, the provided element resembles beryllium.
