Beryllium Electrons per Shell☢️ (Be) rev. 2022 [& Color, Discovery ...

Atoms have electrons that need to be distributed somehow, even Beryllium. Ok so where are these electrons in an atom of Be?

In the case of Beryllium the number of electons per shell is 2,2. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Beryllium that most don't know. Let me show you...

Beryllium Overview

Beryllium Electrons per Shell

2,2

Atomic Number

4

Learn more about the atomic number.

Description

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

Atomic Symbol

Be

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.

Atomic Mass

9,012182

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.

Name Origin

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

State at 20 °C

Solid

Discovery

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

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Beryllium Electrons per Shell (Be) [& Color, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
