Beryllium.
Beryllium is a white metal resembling magnesium in appearance but being considerably lighter in weight. Next to lithium, beryllium is the lightest metal known. It is fairly malleable, and remains unchanged in ordinary air, even when heated. Powdered beryllium, however, when heated burns much in the same manner as magnesium, emitting a brilliant light.
Beryllium is acted upon by mineral acids and bears a close chemical resemblance to magnesium.
