Beryllium heeft maar één stabiel isotoop 9 Be. Onder invloed van de kosmische straling waaraan onze atmosfeer blootstaat wordt een kleine hoeveelheid van het radioactieve isotoop 10 Be gevormd. Dit proces is vergelijkbaar met de vorming van 14 C, maar 10 Be heeft een veel langere vervaltijd.Het kan daarom gebruikt worden om geologische processen zoals erosie en vorming van aardlagen te volgen.

Fact 2: Melting point of beryllium is 1278 degree celsius and it is the highest among the light metals namely lithium, sodium, magnesium etc. Beryllium is brittle at normal room temperatures. A layer of oxide called BeO is formed on the surface of beryllium under normal conditions and this oxide prevents the oxidation of beryllium even at 600 degree celsius.
