Various concepts of clustering phenomena are discussed. Precise multicluster solutions constructed by the present authors for an A-nucleon problem whose dynamical properties are described by a generalized Elliott Hamiltonian are used as a mathematical formalism of the theory of clustering phenomena in nuclei. It is shown that qualitative features of various clustering phenomena, such as the very fact of the existence of cluster states, their classification, and selectivity of reactions that populate them, are explained within the concept being discussed. The 2{alpha} + bineutron three-cluster states of the {sup 10}Be nucleus are classified, and their spectrum is calculated. It is demonstrated that the results of these calculations are in good agreement with experimental data.
