Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Beryllium (Be) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Beryllium. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Be?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Beryllium this thermal coefficient is 11.3 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Beryllium that most don't know? Check this...

Beryllium Data

Beryllium Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

11.3 10^-6 K^-1

Atomic Number

4

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.

Atomic Mass

9,012182

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.

Description

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