What is the cosmic importance of unstableBe8?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Be8 is an activated complex that fuses with alpha particles to form atoms with bigger nuclei.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept

Electronegativity: An atom's chemical behavior in which it attracts the shared electron pair to itself is known as electronegativity. As the number of energy levels grows larger, electronegativity decreases.

02

Find the cosmic importance of unstable Be8 

In reactions, the unstable Be8nuclei serve as activated complexes. This unstable nuclei is created when alpha particles fuse at a star's core. Different atoms such as C,1612O,20Ne, and Mg24can form when Be8collides with other alpha particles.
