Chloride IonBeryllium Chloride is an excellent water soluble crystalline Beryllium source for uses compatible with chlorides. Chloride compounds can conduct electricity when fused or dissolved in water. Chloride materials can be decomposed by electrolysis to chlorine gas and the metal. They are formed through various chlorination processes whereby at least one chlorine anion (Cl-) is covalently bonded to the relevant metal or cation. Ultra high purity and proprietary formulations can be prepared. The chloride ion controls fluid equilibrium and pH levels in metabolic systems. They can form either inorganic or organic compounds. Beryllium Chloride is generally immediately available in most volumes.Ultra high purity, high purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. We also produce Beryllium Chloride Solution. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Beryllium(Be) atomic and molecular weight, atomic number and elemental symbol Beryllium is a Block S, Group 2, Period 2 element. The number of electrons in each of Beryllium's shells is 2, 2 and its electronic configuration is [He] 2s2. In its elemental form beryllium's CAS number is 7440-41-7. The beryllium atom has a radius of 111.3.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 200.pm. Beryllium and its salts are toxic as well as carcinogenic. Beryllium is most commonly used in alloys with our base metallic materials. As a 1 - 3% addition to copper it produces Beryllium Bohr Model"beryllium bronze", a highly wear resistant material and with nickel it is used to make spot welder electrodes. Beryllium is a fairly soft metal that is brittle yet strong. Elemental BerylliumBeryllium is available as metal and compounds with purities from 99% to 99.999% (ACS grade to ultra-high purity); metals in the form of foil, sputtering target, and rod, and compounds as submicron and nanopowder. It is used as a coating on X-ray tubesbecause it is transparent to the X-ray range. It emits neutrons on bombardment by alpha rays. It also has applications in the nuclear industry. Beryllium is found in bertrandite (Be4Si2O7(OH)2), beryl(Al2Be3Si6O18), chrysoberyl (Al2BeO4) and phenakite(Be2SiO4). The most common source for commercial production of Beryllium is Beryl. Beryllium was first discovered by Abbé René-Just Hauy in 1798. The origin of the name Beryllium comes from the Greek word 'beryllos' meaning beryl. See Beryllium research below.
