7Be captures one of the electrons around it and becomes 7Li, emitting a neutrino of fixed energy; in the Sun these are the 7Be solar neutrinos.

- Q-value · energy released
- 0.862 MeV
- Half-life of 7Be
- 53.2 d
- Energies
- An electron capture: there is no Coulomb barrier to cross, and the rate depends on the density of electrons at the nucleus, which in a star differs from that in a neutral atom.
