Beryllium and Lithium have many differences. Lithium reacts readily with water, where Beryllium does not. Lithium has a fairly low melting point, and Beryllium has a high melting point. Beryllium is highly toxic, and Lithium is fairly nontoxic. Both are metals, and have metallic appearance and conduct electricity but Beryllium more brittle than Lithium is.

Because it only has to lose 1 electron but Beryllium has to lose 2 so its less reactive.
