Natural beryllium isotopes are: Be-7, Be-9, Be-10.
no it is not
Beryllium has 4 protons and electrons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope. For other atomic properties see the links bellow.
The two most common isotopes of beryllium are beryllium-9 and beryllium-10. Beryllium-9 is stable and more abundant, while beryllium-10 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of about 1.4 million years.
Important beryllium minerals are: beryl, chrisoberyl, phenakite, bertrandite.
Yes, if you have a sample of pure beryllium, all the atoms would be identical in terms of their atomic structure. Each beryllium atom has the same number of protons (4), neutrons (typically 5 in the most common isotope), and electrons (4), giving it consistent chemical properties. However, there may be slight variations in isotopes if the sample contains different isotopic forms of beryllium, but these isotopes would still share the same chemical behavior.
The most important minerals of beryllium are: bertrandite, beryl, chrysoberyl, phenakite.
Important beryllium minerals are: beryl, chrisoberyl, bertrandite, phenakite, etc.
The most important isotope of beryllium - 9Be - has 5 neutrons. The neutral atom of beryllium has 4 electrons.
You can tell that the beryllium atom is unstable because beryllium only has 2 valence electrons in its outer shell. An atom becomes stable when it has eight valence electrons, so in the case of beryllium it would have to lose those 2 electrons in its outer shell to become stable. often forming a cation with a 2+ charge.
Because beryllium has some similarities with the other alkaline earth metals; and also the electronic configuration is important.
Beryllium is primarily obtained through mining beryl ore or bertrandite. The ore is processed to extract beryllium using a combination of chemical and physical methods. Beryllium can also be recycled from products that contain this element.
