What does beryllium feel like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Beryllium is a solid metal that is soft, lightweight, and has a high melting point. When touched, it may feel smooth and cool to the touch. However, it is important to note that beryllium is highly toxic and can be harmful if handled or ingested, so direct contact should be avoided.

What element that is differentiated from beryllium lithium nitrogen nickel tin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The element that is differentiated from beryllium lithium nitrogen nickel and tin is oxygen. Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table a highly reactive nonmetal and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds. Oxygen is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust as part of oxide compounds such as silicon dioxide and the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere.

Oxygen has several properties that differentiate it from beryllium lithium nitrogen nickel and tin including:

  • Atomic number 8
  • Atomic weight 15.9994
  • Group Chalcogens
  • Period 2
  • Block p

Additionally oxygen has a variety of oxidation states from -2 to +6 and is a colorless odorless tasteless gas. It is the third most abundant element in the universe and is essential to all known forms of life.

About 11 amu. 6 protons and 6 electrons in the elemental forms. One's an alkaline earth metal that easily ionizes and forms compounds with other species, the other's a noble gas. Shall I go on?

Is there a picture of the protons and neutrons of beryllium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No we are not able to see proton neutron or electron by visible electromagnetic radiation. So no one have picture of it, but these can be detected by various sensors.

Where can you find beryllium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not really, it is dangerous. As a brittle metal, tiny particles of beryllium dust are liberated when the surface is scratched. This particles, if inhaled, cause a disease called berylliosis, which is bad. Beryllium can also get in the body as tiny slivers. Working with beryllium requires special manufacturing techniques to form parts, so there is no legitimate use for the average metal shop anyhow.

How many electrons can beryllium lend?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2 because it has two outer shell electrons out of 8 (relevant rule only for the first 20 elements)

Is beryllium heavy metal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it's actually quite a light metal. It's atomic number is 4, and has a density under 2 g/cm3. For reference most steels are closer to 8 g/cm3, and a heavy metal like Mercury has a density over 13 g/cm3.

What is the origin for the symbol of beryllium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The symbol of beryllium (Be) comes from the first two letters of the element's name.

The name beryllium comes from the mineral beryl, of which beryllium is a component.

How many unpaired electrons does beryllium have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zero.

It has 4 electrons and thus it's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2. Each s orbital can only hold 2 electrons and since each has 2, there are are no unpaired electrons.

Which family does beryllium belong to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is an actinoid as it lies between Ac and Lr. However, as far as groups go, being in the Actinoid group doesn't say a great deal about your chemical properties. So it's fairly inconsequential as far as elemental families go.

Ion electron configuration for beryllium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Group 2 = 2 valance electons. Row 2 = Second energy level.

= 1s2, 2s2.

Confirm this with Beryllium being the fourth element and having four electrons - check.
