3 Facts

3.1 Interesting Facts

Beryllium is best anti corrosion metal.

Beryllium is the lightest metal and still it is stronger than steel.

It also finds various applications in Nuclear reactors as a reflector.

Bismuth metal is soluble and reacts with concentrated nitric acid.

It oxides are used as a yellow pigment in paint. Bismuth chloride oxide BiClO gives a pearly texture to cosmetics.

4 Uses

4.1 Uses & Benefits

Its alloys with copper or nickel are used in manufacturing Gyroscopes, springs, electrical contact and non sparking tools.
Beryllium Alloys are used as a material for aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and satellite.

Tin and bismuth alloys have a very low melting point and hence it is used in fire detector and the fire extinguishers. It also used in electric solders and fuses.
