Q

Identify the element with the symbol

Be

A

Beryllium

It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation (the break-up of a bombarded nucleus into several parts) of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. Within the cores of stars, beryllium is depleted as it is fused into heavier elements. It is a divalent element which occurs naturally only in combination with other elements in minerals. Notable gemstones which contain beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl. As a free element it is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal.
