Beryllium is an alkaline-earth metal, atomic number 4, Atomic Mass 9,01282(3); very toxic, it is the cause of berylliosis.
Applications:
- alloying metal for copper alloys (alloys for welding electrodes, components in electrotechnics, springs for watches - from glycodur)
- rockets, missiles, aviation
- brazing material for zirconium and zirconium alloys
- reflector in nuclear reactors (as metal or oxide)
- windows for X-ray tubes or X-ray detectors
- component of neutron sources (Ra-Be, Pu-Be, Am-Be, Po-Be, etc.)
- components for large particles accelerators
- mirrors for astronomy, military armored vehicles, etc.
- special components for electronics
- beryllium oxide: ceramic material for burning boats, tubes of reaction, crucibles, tubes for thermocouples, thermal isolator in electronics, etc.
- BeF2 was used in the experimental reactor MSRE
- beryllium nitride (Be3N2) is a refractory ceramics and the the source material to prepare the isotope 14C
- and other applications
1. The colour of Beryllium is a steel grey
2. The structure of Beryllium is HCP (hexagonal close packed)
3. Beryllium and its salts are both toxic and carcinogenic
4. It has high thermal conductivity and is nonmagnetic
What else can I help you with?
Is Beryllium compound element or mixture?
Yes. It is the compound of the elements Beryllium and fluorine.
Does beryllium have a isotope?
Beryllium has 4 protons and electrons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope. For other atomic properties see the links bellow.
Is beryllium an oxide?
No. Beryllium is a metallic element. However, there is a such thing of beryllium oxide, which forms when beryllium combines with oxygen.
What is the word equation for beryllium carbonate?
The word equation for beryllium carbonate is: beryllium carbonate = beryllium oxide + carbon dioxide.
What does beryllium and phosphorus make?
Beryllium and phosphorus can form an intermetallic compound called beryllium phosphide (Be3P2).
Who discover beryllium?
Beryllium was discovered by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin in 1798 as a component of beryl and in emeralds. Friedrich Wöhler and Antoine Bussy independently isolated the metal in 1828 by reacting potassium and beryllium chloride. Beryllium's chemical similarity to aluminium was probably why beryllium was missed in previous searches.
What is the chemical name of BeI2?
Beryllium. And it's an element, not a chemical.
