Nucleus

Index Entry

Nucleus:

"A nucleus, by definition,

Must be surrounded in all directions.

This means that there must be a ball

In every possible angular relationship to the nucleus.

This does not happen with one layer of twelve balls,

Nor with a second layer of forty-two balls.

Not until a third layer of ninety-two balls is added

Are all the angular relationships to the nucleus filled.

We now have a true nucleus."
