Other Experimental

After ignition it is almost insoluble in water, concentrated acids or solutions of fixed alkali hydroxides;Mohs hardness: 9;Extremely stable ... its stability depends on its structure and is determined by the content of bound water. The higher the calcination temperature, the more inert the beryllium oxide.;Pure (100%) beryllium oxide insulates electrically like a ceramic, but conducts heat like a metal.;Piezoelectric or pyroelectric. ... Undergoes hexagonal to tettragonal transition at 21 °C;Linear coefficient of thermal expansion = 5X10-6 1/K;Specific heat = 1.00 J/g-K at 292 K;Thermal conductivity = 264 W/m-K at room temperature;Electrical resistence = 1X10+16 ohm-m at room temperature;Heat resistant
