All about Beryllium: Properties, Color, Uses and more... 2022

Welcome to my Beryllium element data sheet page.

On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Beryllium. I hope you profit from it.

Beryllium Overview

Name Origin

Greek: beryllos, "beryl" (a mineral).

Symbol

Be (Beryllium)

Description

Hard, brittle, steel-gray metal. Lightest rigid metal. Formerly called glucinium (Gl) for its sweet but deadly taste.

Discovery

Discovered By: Fredrich Wöhler, A.A.Bussy
Year: 1798
Location: Germany/France

Sources

Found mostly in minerals like beryl [AlBe3(Si6O18)] and chrysoberyl (Al2BeO4). Pure beryllium is obtained by chemically reducing beryl mineral. Also by electrolysis of beryllium chloride.

Uses

Its ability to absorb large amounts of heat makes it useful in spacecraft, missiles, aircraft, etc. Emeralds are beryl crystals with chromium traces giving them their green color.
