Beryllonate

/bəˈrɪləneɪt/ verb

Definition

To treat, combine, or react something with beryllium or a beryllium compound; to form a beryllonate compound.

Etymology

From 'beryllium' plus '-onate', a chemical suffix indicating the formation of a compound or reaction process.

Kelly Says

When chemists add '-onate' to an element, they're describing the action of combining with it—beryllonate is what happens when beryllium gets chemically bonded!
