Description: The existence of global exponential instability leading to chaos in plane (nonrigid) motions of the three-body system is demonstrated. In the presence of Newtonian attracting forces the trajectories of the three-body system in the configuration space will no longer be geodesic, and their convergence will depend on the geodesic curvature in addition to the Gaussian curvature. It is noted that the global exponential instability occurs in the n-body problem for n greater than 3 if at least two angular coordinates are disturbed, and that the chaotic instability is not necessarily accompanied by an exponential increase of the distance between the mass-points, but is associated with the exponential divergence of trajectories in the configuration space.
