Beryllium Contacting Information

Beryllium Status

Status:	In a Relationship
Hobbies:	Found in 30 different minerals including aquamarine and emarald. Found in a specific gravity of 1.848(20 degres C). It is found in X-rays also. Beryllium resists oxidation in air at ordinary temperatures. Resists attack by concentrated nitric acid.

Beryllium's Latest Blog Entry: What I Have in Common with My Element! Bonds With Others:

I'm a friendly person with a very outgoing personality. I believe that my personality has different varieties. Just like Beryllium I'm an in your face, bubbly individual. I am very active and have many friends.

Beryllium's Blurbs

About me: I am the 4th smallest element in the periodic table. One of the elements in the top 5 I am a high melting point metal. My compunds are toxic and can scratch glass due to its thin layer of oxide. To ordinary temps. I resist oxidation in air. Found in about 30 mineral species. I am steel grey in color with many desirable properties. I am 1/3 greater then steel.

Who I'd like to meet: The elements that I am most attracted to are: bertrandite, beryl, chrysoberyl and phenacite. Im found in structural materials such as: high-speed aircrafts, missiles, spacecrafts and communication satelites.1. Beryl: is an often unknown mineral, even by the gemstone- buying public 2. Bertrandite: was named after Leon Bertrand(French mineralist)3. Chrysoberyl: The name chrysoberyl is derived from the Greek words chrysos and beryllos, meaning "a gold-white spar".
4. Phenacite:is a beryllium silicate with a hardness of 7.5 to 8. It is a rare mineral, especially in well-formed crystals with transparency.

Flourides:

Chlorides:

Oxides:

Hydrids:

Beryllium's Friends:
1.Hydrides: The term hydride is used to indicate compounds of the type MxHy and not necessarily to indicate that any compounds listed behave as hydrides chemically.
2. Flourides: can be made by the thermolysis of ammonium.
3. Chlorides: can be made by the direct reaction of the elements at high temperatures.
4. Bromides: can be made by the direct reaction of the elements at warm temperatures. This involves carrying the bromine over the beryllium in a stream of argon gas.
5. Iodides: can be made by the reaction of beryllium metal.
6. Oxides: is made through the calcination (heating) of beryllium hydroxide.
7. Sulfides: an be made by heating beryllium metal with hydrogen sulfide in a closed vessel.
8. Selenides: unit with the most intense ion set to 100%.
9. Nitrides:can be made by the direct reaction of the elements at high temperatures.
