Beryllium and Iodine
This ionic compound is formed by the reaction of beryllium with iodine. The compound is hygroscopic and reacts violently with water, forming hydroiodic acid.
Solubitity of ionic compounds is a function of their electronegativity, bonding polarity and ability to displace charge, as well as the intermolecular forces between the elements. For this reason, ionic compounds are often considered to have “similar” solubilities, although this rule is not always true, and some ionic compounds dissolve in different solvents than others.
Iodine is an important element in organic chemistry, and is used in medicine as a poison control agent and in radiation therapy for cancer patients. Iodine is also important in nuclear physics, as it can be used as a radioactive source for certain atomic experiments.
Beryllium is a soft, gray-metallic element with a low density and high thermal conductivity; it is used in aerospace, military, and x-ray equipment. In its metallic form, beryllium is a common material used in gyroscopes and computer parts. It is also an important component in X-ray equipment and particle physics, and has a number of other industrial uses. Beryllium oxide is a commercially important ceramic material. It is fabricated by classical ceramic-forming processes such as dry pressing, isostatic pressing, and extrusion. It is also deposited on hot tungsten filaments. Beryllium powder is available in submicron and nanopowder forms. The material is calcined at controlled temperatures to provide the desired properties for each individual application.
