Niison and Pettersson's observations on beryllium and germanium have shown that the atomic heats of these metals increase with rise of temperature, finally becoming constant with a value 5.
Fortunately, they've been covered with helio-beryllium paint, and the helmet glass is the same stuff.
The berylliumglass had not broken to let in the fluorine-filled air, but Garth was standing over me.
He was letting down a spliced beryllium plumb line, his gaze riveted on the slowly turning horizontal drum of a windlass which contained more than two hundred feet of gleaming metal cordage.
There was nothing visible between the ship and the fleecy clouds far below except a tiny black dot resting on vacancy and a thin beryllium plumb line ascending like an interrogation point from the dot to the 'chute opening.
They ran a check on the double-nucleus beryllium toward the end of the week, after it had been fairly safely established that no apparent harm was going to come to them.
We wanted to make absolutely positive that it was double-nucleus beryllium before we made our report.
Our job is to make the preliminary preparations for getting D-N beryllium out of the crust of Fomalhaut V.
The D-N beryllium deposit lies at the top of a fairly low mountain about five miles from the valley.
His job would be the actual climbing of the mountain where the double-nucleus beryllium was located.
The prospect of enough D-N beryllium to make fusion power really cheap could cause a panic if we didn't handle it properly.
But the Mavis was in orbit around Fomalhaut V for two weeks before we found the D-N beryllium deposit, and the Service feels that we shouldn't waste any time.
The D-N berylliumup there, sir," Major MacDougal said.
Actually, it could be found eventually with the D-N beryllium as a guide.
Then we picked up the double-nucleus beryllium deposit on our detectors.
This mineral contains the metals aluminum and beryllium combined with the non-metal oxygen.
Thus it is really to be regarded as a compound of the two oxides, aluminum oxide and beryllium oxide.
Beryllium had been taken, but whether there was any significance in the thefts or not, no one knew.
Random samplings from various parts of the area show that the ash consists of magnesium, lithium, and beryllium carbonates.
Sestini[164] had found that if certain plants were nourished with a solution of a beryllium salt, in the ash of these plants could be shown the presence of beryllium.
Two grams of beryllium chlorid were fed in aqueous solution to a rabbit weighing 1,800.
The tests for beryllium by Sestini's method, however, failed to show berylliumin the active loco plants examined.
This is now treated for some days with a hot concentrated solution of ammonium carbonate, which precipitates the iron and aluminium but keeps the beryllium in solution.
On concentration of the solution, the major portion of the aluminium present separates as alum, and the mother liquor remaining contains beryllium and iron sulphates together with a little alum.
Beryllium oxide, beryllia or glucina, BeO, is a very hard white powder which can be melted and distilled in the electric furnace, when it condenses in the form of minute hexagonal crystals.
H2O is prepared by adding barium nitrate to beryllium sulphate solution; it crystallizes with difficulty and is very deliquescent.
Beryllium salts are easily soluble and mostly have a sweetish taste (hence the name Glucinum (q.
Beryllium is estimated quantitatively by precipitation with ammonia, and ignition to oxide.
To remove the iron, the precipitate is again dissolved in ammonium carbonate and steam is blown through the liquid, when beryllium oxide is precipitated.
Double sulphates of beryllium and the alkali metals are known, e.
Dana in 1888, and named beryllonite because it contains beryllium in large amount.
Beryllium chloride BeCl2, like aluminium chloride, may be prepared by heating a mixture of the oxide and sugar charcoal in a current of dry chlorine.
Metallic beryllium has a specific gravity 1ยท64 (Nilson and Pettersson).
Beryllium oxide, from the feebleness of its basic properties, presents an analogy to aluminium oxide in the same way that lithium oxide is analogous to magnesium oxide.
Potassium hydroxide acts on beryllium as on aluminium, hydrogen being disengaged and the metal dissolved, but ammonia has no action on it.
The peculiarities of beryllium among the metals of the alkaline earths recall the fact that in the series of the halogens we saw that fluorine differed from the other halogens in many of its properties and had the smallest atomic weight.
Beryllium also acts easily on sulphuric acid, but it is remarkable that neither dilute nor strong nitric acid acts on beryllium, which seems especially able to resist oxidising agents.
The name beryllium was given to the metal by German chemists and was generally used until recently, when the earlier name was adopted.
Beryllium and magnesium are permanent in dry air; calcium, strontium and barium, however, oxidize rapidly on exposure.
Beryllium to a certain extent stands alone in many of its chemical properties, resembling to some extent the metal aluminium.
It is as simple in relation to its congeners as is beryllium to its group-members.
Illustration] Beryllium offers us four similar funnels and a central globe, and the proto-elements consist of these five bodies, set free.
In this way 720 atoms are packed into the simple beryllium type.
Thus 1,568 atoms have been packed into the beryllium type, and our wonder is again aroused by the ingenuity with which a type is preserved while it is adapted to new conditions.
We give beryllium (glucinum) as the simplest example (2 on Plate III), and to this group belong calcium and strontium.
The third member of this group repeats the a groups of berylliumand the b groups of calcium, and they dissociate into the bodies already described under these respectively.
And right now, sir it's probably as expensive for them to refine iron as it is for us to handle titanium and beryllium and osmium--which are duck soup for them!
The advantage in this will be that nearly all the energy will be absorbed outside, and we'll radiate pretty fast, particularly as that tungsten-beryllium has a high radiation-factor in the long heat range.
The big help is, that the tungsten-beryllium will throw off the energy pretty fast, and in a big ship, with a whale of a lot of matter to heat, the Strangers will simply give up the idea.
Sorry--but I didn't build the IP fleet, and there are lots of tungsten and beryllium on Earth.
It'll cut cost fifty-eight millions, with its twelve-foot tungsten-beryllium walls and the heavy defense weapons against those terrible pirates.
For instance, beryllium ions in the body can be deadly; beryllium poisoning is nasty stuff.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "beryllium" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: arsenic; gold; iron; lead; metal; poison; silver
