Abstract

This analysis aims to adequately explain the atomic nucleus. Scientists are stuck to model proposed in 1950 according to which protons move along orbitals, but the measured radius of nucleus is such that only three protons can fit inside it, and certainly they do not orbit. Therefore, the model valid for electrons, which travel through enormous spaces, is not suitable for nucleus. Nucleus at Polyhedra Shells is a compact structure where protons are held by neutrons, thanks to the force of gluons, but repulsion distributes them equidistantly. This structure grows and reshapes with atomic number (Z), from hydrogen to last element, changing properties of elements and isotopes between instability and stability, until those who take on a magic number 8, 20, 28, 50, and 82; these properties are reported in tables and drawings to facilitate comparison. The result is a nucleus as an aggregate of protons and neutrons in approximately equal numbers, compact but with a fluidity that pushes the positive charges of protons to stay as far apart as possible but held by the neutrons that act as dielectric and glue. The balance of repulsive and union forces leads to an architecture of concentric shells, each in shape of a crystal whose vertices are occupied by protons at maximum distance from each other, and faces by neutrons, in a balanced geometric configuration that allows the stability and existence of nucleus, and chemical elements.

Description
A comprehensive picture of how the universe is made. Within this framework, all scientific studies, data, and models from all branches of science can be placed and understood. Just as Michelangelo Buonarroti summarized the many aspects of Christian doctrine in his Last Judgment, so too can and must we sketch a comprehensive picture of natural phenomena and the models found by the various sciences. So that the nature of the universe may be clear to all.
