A metallic element found in the beryl. See Glucinum.
(Be) Be; glucinium. Element 4, atomic weight 9.0122, an extremely toxic metal used as a neutron source and in phosphors.
CAS Number: 7440-41-7. Beryllium is a hard, grayish metal naturally found in mineral rocks, coal, soil, and volcanic dust. Beryllium compounds are commercially mined, and the beryllium is purified for use in nuclear weapons and reactors, aircraft and space vehicle structures, instruments, x-ray machines, and mirrors. Beryllium ores are used to make speciality ceramics for electrical and high-technology applications. Beryllium alloys are used in automobiles, computers, sports equipment (golf clubs and bicycle frames), and dental bridges. Chemical formula = Be. Molecular weight = 9.01 g/mol. Learn More...
A hard brittle, gray-white metal. Resistant to oxidation at ordinary temperatures. Used in computer parts, x-ray tubes, gyroscopes and rocket fuel additive. Hazard: Highly toxic, especially by inhalation of dust. Long term exposure may cause weight loss, weakness, cough, extreme difficulty in breathing and cardiac failure.
A greyish-white metal occurring naturally in certain rocks, soils and volcanic dust. A major emission source to the environment is through the fly ash from combustion of coal and fuel oil, which can contain the metal. It is used in nuclear reactors, radio and television tubes, fluorescent tubes and powders. It is discharged by machine shops, ceramic and propellant plants, and foundries. In the environment, it ultimately accumulates in sediments. Beryllium can cause severe dermatitis problems and can be toxic if inhaled. It is a Group B2, animal carcinogen
a light strong brittle gray toxic bivalent metallic element
A connector metal that is lighter than aluminum, non-magnetic, and is characterized by good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The most important use for beryllium is in alloys, especially beryllium-copper alloys.
An metal hazardous to human health when inhaled as an airborne pollutant. It is discharged by machine shops, ceramic and propellant plants, and foundries.
Gray metallic, hard, lightweight element; atomic number 4; atomic weight 9.0122; atomic symbol Be.
Beryllium. An element with the atomic symbol Be, atomic number 4, and atomic weight 9.01218. Short exposure to this element can lead to a type of poisoning known as BERYLliOSIS.
An alkaline earth metal used in X-ray tube windows, watch springs and sparkless tools.
A toxic metal found in ores containing other elements that is used in making metal alloys for nuclear reactors and the aerospace industry. Acute exposure to beryllium fumes can cause a severe, sometimes fatal pneumonitis ( inflammation of the lungs). Chronic overexposure to beryllium is more common and causes a diffuse inflammatory reaction in the lungs resulting in granulomas and fibrosis of the lungs and, in time, increasing shortness of breath. Beryllium poisoning is termed berylliosis.
Another name for Glucinum.
A highly toxic steel-grey metal, which can be used in nuclear reactors as a moderator, reflector or cladding material. In nuclear weapons, beryllium surrounds the fissile material and reflects neutrons back into the nuclear reaction.
A metal that causes berylliosis, a lung disease that resembles sarcoidosis.
Beryllium (IPA: ) is the chemical element that has the symbol Be and atomic number 4. A bivalent element, elemental beryllium is a steel grey, strong, light-weight yet brittle, alkaline earth metal. It is primarily used as a hardening agent in alloys (most notably beryllium copper).
