Element Beryllium, Be, Alkaline Earth Metal. Occupies the same position among the alkaline earth metals as lithium does among the alkali metals. Its combining weight is the smallest, and its similarity to the other elements of the group is least. Its properties exhibit a distinct tendency towards the next group, that of the earth metals. The combining weight of beryllium amounts to 9. Besides the typical divalent ion Be. Beryllion forms various salts, of which the chloride, Be. And the sulphate, Be.

Helping the Human Race Discover New Worlds. Since the middle of the last century, beryllium has played a role in exploring the universe beyond our planet. New systems can generate real-time moving images of organs and blood vessels.
