At standard temperature and pressure, beryllium is a strong, steel-grey, light-weight, brittle, bivalent alkali earth metal, with a density of 1.85 g·cm. It also has one of the highest melting points of all the light metals. Beryllium's most common isotope is Be, which contains 4 protons and 5 neutrons. It makes up almost 100% of all naturally occurring beryllium
