Reaction of beryllium with air: Beryllium is a silvery white metal. The surface of beryllium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide that helps protect the metal from attack by air. It does not oxidize in air even at 600°C. However, powdered beryllium metal does burn in air to give a mixture of white beryllium oxide, BeO, and beryllium nitride, Be3N2. Beryllium oxide is more normally made by heating beryllium carbonate.
2Be(s) + O2(g) → 2BeO(s)
3Be(s) + N2(g) → Be3N2(s)
Reaction of beryllium with water: Beryllium metal does not react with water or steam, even if the metal is heated to red heat.
Reaction of beryllium with the halogens: Beryllium metal reacts chlorine, Cl2, or bromine, Br2, to form the beryllium dihalides beryllium (II) chloride, BeCl2, and beryllium (II) bromide, BeBr2, respectively.
Be(s) + Cl2(g) → BeCl2(s)
Be(s) + Br2(g) → BeBr2(s)
Reaction of beryllium with acids: The surface of beryllium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide that helps protect the metal from attack by acids, but powdered beryllium metal dissolves readily in dilute acids such as sulphuric acid, H2SO4, hydrochloric acid, HCl, or nitric acid, HNO3, to form solutions containing the aquated Be(II) ion together with hydrogen gas, H2.
Be(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Be2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + H2(g)
Reaction of beryllium with bases: Beryllium metal dissolves readily in dilute aquesous base solutions such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH, to form Be(II) complexes together with hydrogen gas, H2. Magnesium (immediately below beryllium in the Periodic Table) does not do this.

[He] 2S2 is the noble gas electron configuration for beryllium.
Beryllium. And it's an element, not a chemical.
The element Beryllium is represented on the Periodic Table as Be. Beryllium can be used as part of certain alloys in order to increase the melting tempature of the alloy. Beryllium is also a highly toxic metal.
Beryllium the element (Be) has a zero charge. Beryllium the ion (Be^2+) as a plus 2 charge.
Beryllium
Yes, beryllium (Be) is a natural chemical element.
no beryllium aluminium silicate is not an element. It is one of the beryllium compounds.
Beryllium Nitride: Be3N2.
Yes, and beryllium oxide is formed.
Beryllium is a chemical compound with the symbol Be. The chemicals that beryllium does react well with would be acids and water to form a hydrogen gas.
Yes. It is the compound of the elements Beryllium and fluorine.
Beryllium is an element with atoms, not a molecule.
There is nothing "in" the metal beryllium. It is a chemical element.
no it is not
beryllium
Beryllium is a chemical compound with the symbol Be and the atomic number 4. The chemicals that beryllium does react well with would be acids and water to form a hydrogen gas.
yes
