Interpretation:
The common factor in beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are known as alkaline earth metals. These metals have 2 electrons in their outermost shell. These elements can loss these electrons to get + 2 charge on them.

Answer
Valence shell electron is 2 for Be, Mg and Ca element.
Explanation of Solution
The given elements Be, Mg and Ca belong to group 2 in the periodic table.
There electronic configurations are as follows:
Electronic configuration of Be is 1s22s2
Electronic configuration of Mg is 1s22s22p63s2
Electronic configuration of Ca is 1s22s22p63s23p64s2
Thus, all these three elements have last electron in s sub-shell which means these are s block elements containing 2 valence electrons.
Thus, Be, Mg and Ca are s block elements containing 2 valence electrons.
