One example of a nuclear reaction involving beryllium is the reaction of beryllium-9 with an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) to produce carbon-12 and a neutron. This reaction is important in stellar nucleosynthesis and occurs in high-energy environments such as inside stars.

What is the nuclear reaction for beryllium-7 into lithium-7?
beryllium 7 accepts a beta particle to convert to lithium 7 4Be7 + -1e0 = 3Li7
How is beryllium used in nuclear reactors?
Beryllium is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron reflector or moderator. It helps to slow down neutrons to increase the probability of their interaction with the nuclear fuel, promoting the chain reaction. Beryllium's ability to effectively reflect and moderate neutrons makes it a valuable material for enhancing the efficiency of nuclear reactors.
When an atom beryllium-9 is bombarded by an alpha particles an atom of carbon-12 is produced and a neutron is emitted what kind of nuclear reaction has just occured?
The reaction described is a nuclear reaction known as a nuclear transmutation. When beryllium-9 is bombarded by an alpha particle (which is a helium-4 nucleus), it transforms into carbon-12 while emitting a neutron. This process involves the change of one element into another, demonstrating the principles of nuclear physics and the interaction between particles.
When atoms of beryllium are bombarded with alpha particles an atom of carbon is produced and a neutron is emitted What kind of nuclear reaction occurred?
Nuclear Fission. The Nucleus of the Atom has been split apart.
Why does beryllium undergoes alpha decay?
The term apha decay is not correct; it is a nuclear reaction: 94Be + α -------- 126C + n Beryllium is a component of small neutron sources as Pu-Be, Ra-Be, Po-Be, Am-Be, using the above reaction.

What is beryllium's chemical and physical interest?
Beryllium is used as components for missiles and rockets. Windows for X-ray tubes, brazing material for zirconium alloys, beryllium bronzes, beryllium alloys for welding, nuclear applications as reflector, beryllium-copper alloys for transformers and electrotechnical uses, Ra (Am, Pu, Po)-Be source of neutrons, alloys for aviation industry, alloys for missiles, alloy for watches components (glucydur), nuclear weapons and many other uses. Beryllium oxide: electric insulator but thermal conductor, ceramics for high temperatures, nuclear applications as neutrons reflector, etc. Beryllium fluoride was used in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. Beryllium nitride is an important ceramic. Beryllium chloride is a catalyst in organic chemistry. Beryllium phosphide is a semiconductor. Beryllium hydride is a component of some rocket fuels. Emerald, aquamarine and alexandrite are natural gemstones with beryllium.
Why do neutron sources use radium?
Neutron sources use radium because it emits alpha particles, which can interact with beryllium to produce neutrons through the (alpha, n) reaction. This process allows for a reliable and efficient way to generate neutrons for various applications, such as scientific research, industrial testing, and medical diagnostics.
