Discovered : by N.L. Vauquelin in 1797 Isolated in 1828 by Friedrich Wohler in Berlin, Germany and A.A. Bussy in Paris, France Origin : The name comes from 'beryllos', the Greek for the semi-precious stone beryl. Description : A lightweight, silvery metal that is alloyed in small amounts to copper and nickel to increase their ability to conduct electricity and heat. The common ore from which it ...

Beryllium, which occurs in the mineral beryl, Be3Al2(SiO3)6, was found in 1798. Since the extraction of beryllium from ores is complicated, the metal is obtained by the electrolysis of BeCl2. Beryllium is light, quite hard and brittle. It is increasingly used as an alloying material. Addition of 2% to 3% beryllium to copper produces a bronze that is harder, stronger and more elastic than copper, ...
