They are six alkaline earth metals 1. beryllium 2. magnesium 3. calcium 4. strontium 5. barium 6. radium Magnesium and calcium are widely used for no of uses starting from construction to dietary supplements. Barium and Beryllium are widely used in Jewellary and Medicine Strontium is primarily used in fire works . Radium is oftenly used out side laboratory conditions.
Yes, many elements have similar uses. For example Boron, Nitrogen and Phosphorus all can be used as fertilizers and/or are necessary to plant growth. Also Beryllium and Lithium are used in ceramics. Plus; Oxygen and Hydrogen are used in rocket fuel. Boron and Helium are used in rockets. Magnesium, and Silicon are used in bricks.
The FSC (Full Blood Count) test typically uses a lavender/purple top tube, which contains EDTA as an anticoagulant. This tube is used to collect the blood sample for analysis of various blood cell parameters like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Hassium is a synthetic element that does not have any known practical uses. It is primarily used for scientific research purposes to study the properties of superheavy elements.
The earliest ones all did.Early atomic bombs used an internal initiator/neutron source to start the chain reaction. This was composed of beryllium and polonium and somewhat resembled a golfball in appearance. It was placed in the center of the bomb and when crushed by the shock from the chemical explosives, the two elements mixed, alpha particles from the polonium decay released neutrons from the beryllium which started the chain reaction.These had a problem though: the polonium decays fairly rapidly, meaning these initiators/neutron sources had to be replaced about every 138 days to keep the bombs reliable. As the stockpile grew this became a major maintenance issue.In the middle 1950s the US switched to external initiators/neutron sources to start the chain reaction. These are operated electrically and use tritium in a miniaturized particle accelerator to initiate a small fusion reaction reaction and a pulse of neutrons. The maintenance issues were effectively eliminated as these initiators/neutron sources only had to be replaced about every 12 years, a period of time longer than many weapons were even kept in the stockpile before being replaced by newer designs.Some atomic bombs do use a beryllium neutron reflector on the inside of the depleted uranium tamper to improve efficiency, but this is not absolutely necessary for the bomb to work. To know whether a given bomb uses this or not would require access to classified design information.

No, pennies do not use beryllium. U.S. pennies are primarily made of zinc, with a thin copper coating, while beryllium is a rare metal used in specific applications such as aerospace, electronics, and nuclear industries due to its lightweight and high-strength properties. Beryllium is not commonly found in everyday currency or consumer products.
