Oxides:
* Beryllium oxide (BeO): This is a white, high-melting point solid that is used in ceramics and as a moderator in nuclear reactors.
Halides:
* Beryllium fluoride (BeF2): A colorless, hygroscopic solid used in various applications like glass making and nuclear technology.
* Beryllium chloride (BeCl2): A white solid that is highly reactive and used as a catalyst in organic chemistry.
* Beryllium bromide (BeBr2): A white solid with similar properties to beryllium chloride.
* Beryllium iodide (BeI2): A white solid used in some organic reactions.
Other Compounds:
* Beryllium hydride (BeH2): A white solid that is very unstable and decomposes easily.
* Beryllium carbide (Be2C): A yellow-green solid that is a strong reducing agent.
* Beryllium nitrate (Be(NO3)2): A colorless, hygroscopic solid used in the production of other beryllium compounds.
* Beryllium sulfate (BeSO4): A white solid that is soluble in water and used in the production of other beryllium salts.
Important Note: Beryllium and its compounds are highly toxic. They can cause a variety of health problems, including lung disease and cancer. Therefore, it is important to handle them with great care and appropriate safety measures.
