Beryllium fluoride has distinctive optical properties. In the form of fluoroberyllate glass, it has the lowest refractive index for a solid at room temperature of 1.275. Its dispersive power is the lowest for a solid at 0.0093, and the nonlinear coefficient is also the lowest at 2 × 10 −14.
When melted and heated to 850–1145 °C, Be 2 gas evaporates leaving behind molten SrF 2. [11] The barium tetrafluoroberyllate is very insoluble and can be used for gravimetric analysis of beryllium. [11] H 2 BeF 4 is an acid that can be produced from Ag 2 BeF 4 and HCl. It only exists in aqueous solution. [11]
Molten FLiBe flowing; this sample's green tint is from dissolved uranium tetrafluoride.. FLiBe is a molten salt made from a mixture of lithium fluoride (LiF) and beryllium fluoride (BeF 2).
Structure of beryllium fluoride (BeF 2), a compound with a linear geometry at the beryllium atom.. The linear molecular geometry describes the geometry around a central atom bonded to two other atoms (or ligands) placed at a bond angle of 180°.
Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface. For example, this surface might be the air/water interface of a water body, the surface of a gas bubble in a liquid, a gas-permeable membrane, or a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment.
The image captioned "Structure of solid BeF2" is wrong in several respects: It shows only an amorphous network, when BeF2 also has a quartz-like crystalline phase. The network is shown as two dimensional, when the solid has three-dimensional bonding. The network shows tri-coordinate Be ions, when they are in reality tetracoordinate.
While the term lenticel is usually associated with the breakage of periderm tissue that is associated with gas exchange, it also refers to the lightly colored spots found on apples (a type of pome fruit). "Lenticel" seems to be the most appropriate term to describe both structures mentioned in light of their similar function in gas exchange.
The so-called gas distribution layer is located in the middle of the electrode. With only a small gas pressure, the electrolyte is displaced from this pore system. A small flow resistance ensures that the gas can freely flow inside the electrode. At a slightly higher gas pressure the electrolyte in the pore system is restricted to the work layer.
