Although beryllium (Be) has multiple isotopes, only one of these isotopes is stable; as such, it is considered a monoisotopic element.
Standard atomic mass: 9.012182(3) u

Notes
- Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
