Beryllium 8 nucleus decay structure
Nuclear structure of

Beryllium 8 

(half life = 67 attos).

Blue toruses = 8 protons
Red toruses = 4 nuclear electrons

Atomic number of Be8 = protons (8) - nuclear electrons (4) = (4)

Beryllium 8 decay form.

The nucleus of Beryllium 8 highly instable, quickly decomposes to Helium 4, yielding two alpha particles.
Magnetic forces holds together the two toroid trias of deuterium inside both He4 nucleus, but not between He4 !
