Previous | Home | NextA hypothesis of the nuclear physicist has been the possible stability of elements with "magic numbers of protons and neutrons. These elements would lie in a so-called "Island of Stability" far beyond the presently known elements in the Periodic Table. The ideal number of neutrons would be 184, and of protons would be 114, 120, or 126. So far no such elements have been realized.
