February 1798 - I was discovered by Louis Nicolas Vauquelin in The French Academy.
1950 - People stopped making electric lamps that contained oxygen and I together.
July 21, 2011 - The space shuttle took it's last flight today. I was used very much in the space shuttle as an alloy with nickel and copper and will now be taken to a museum to be displayed to the adoring masses.

| Overview: |
|
3-5 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)
I am a hard person, and as colorful as the color gray can get. I am brittle, and stick to my ways.
I fly with airplanes and glitter with emeralds.
You don't want to tussle with me, because I can cause berylliosis. I'm so awesome that I've got a disease named after me!

2-3 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)
Because of me, some metals such as copper are much harder. I also cause metals to spark less often. If I am added to fluoride compounds, I can dissolve in water. Also,if I am chemically made into beryl, gems like emerald can appear because of my buddies and I!

| Places: |
|
"check in" with at least three places the element can be found
|
|
10-19-12 - I was just harvested as an emerald and now I'm going to be taken to a beryllium production plant to become pure beryllium!
10-20-12 - Made it through electrolysis! Now I'm officially beryllium!
10-18-12 - Last week, went to a factory where gears and cogs are made for airplanes. I saw my brother there He's a gear now and proud of it!

My friends, Aluminum, Silicon and Oxygen have offered to combine with me to create beryl!
|
I have helped to create parts of this airplane! |
I am highly conductive!
|
I'm in that emerald!

| Do you know who is in those nuclear power plants? Oh, I know! It's me!
|
Copper and I will get to be in a golf match! We are in those clubs!
|
In the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be launched from Earth during 2013, there will be 18 mirrors made from me!
|
Beryllium = Speakers. I am the best element indeed.

What is the mineral's name where you are found?
How is this mineral used?
Beryllium said
at 11:43 am on Oct 27, 2012
Beryllium is found in emeralds
Beryllium is used in things like gears, especially for airplanes and other aviation machines.

Why are you poorly reactive? You are on the left side of the periodic table.
Beryllium said
at 2:20 pm on Oct 28, 2012
it's really weird. Beryllium has atoms that are too small to be highly reactive.
Lithium said

How are you poisonous?!?!?!?!
Beryllium said
at 10:24 am on Oct 30, 2012
it's just one of my properties. Be nice to me or I'll poison you!
Beryllium said
at 10:26 am on Oct 30, 2012
I'm sorry
Lithium said

NO THREATINING!!!!!!!
Copper said

What is youratomic number and bythe way are free this weekend.
Beryllium said
at 10:28 am on Oct 30, 2012
My atomic number is 4. I'm making aluminum beryllium alloys with aluminum this weekend. Maybe next weekend.

Are you reactive?????? BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. :)
Beryllium said

not really
