Beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4. The atomic number tells us the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

Therefore, a neutral Beryllium atom has 4 electrons.

Explanation:
The atomic number (Z) of an element represents the number of protons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons to balance the positive charge of the protons with the negative charge of the electrons.
Since the atomic number of Beryllium is 4, a neutral Beryllium atom has 4 protons and thus 4 electrons.
