Bookmark or Share- Beryllium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic TableBeryllium is found in about 30 different mineral species. The most important are beryl (beryllium aluminium silicate) and bertrandite (beryllium silicate). Emerald and aquamarine are precious forms of beryl. The metal is usually prepared by reducing beryllium fluoride with magnesium metal.
- Beryllium | Properties, Uses, & Facts | BritannicaBeryllium, chemical element that is the lightest member of the alkaline-earth metals of Group 2 of the periodic table. It is used in metallurgy as a hardening agent and in many outer space and nuclear applications. It is a steel-gray metal that is quite brittle at room temperature.
- Beryllium - WikipediaBeryllium is a chemical element; it has symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal. It is a divalent element that occurs naturally only in combination with other elements to form minerals. Gemstones high in beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald, red beryl) and chrysoberyl.
