'''Beryllium''' is a chemical [[element]] that is highly toxic. Inhalation of beryllium-containing dust can cause severe damage to the [[lung]]s, or even death.
'''Beryllium''' is the chemical [[element]] with [[atomic number]] 4. Its symbol is Be.
==Chemical Properties==
Beryllium melts at 1560 [[Kelvin]] (K) and boils at 2742K. In its solid elemental form it is metallic.
==Isotopes==
There is only one stable [[isotope]] of beryllium, <sup>9</sup>Be. A second isotope, <sup>10</sup>Be, is commonly produced in Earth's atmosphere and accumulates at the surface of the soil. <sup>10</sup>Be currently has a half-life of 1.36 million years and decays through [[proton]] capture to form a [[boron]] isotope, <sup>10sup>B.
