Formation of Beryllium Oxide

2Be + O2 → 2BeO

概述

Beryllium reacts with oxygen to form beryllium oxide, an extremely hard and thermally stable ceramic. BeO has the unusual combination of being an excellent electrical insulator while also being a superb thermal conductor, comparable to some metals.
