In chemistry, the capital letter A stands for atomic mass number. The capital letter Z stands for the number of protons inside a specific nucleus. The capital letter N stands for the number of neutron inside the same nucleus except hydrogen where there is no neutron. The atomic mass number is then defined as the sum of Z and N: A = Z + N. Incidentally, Z is also the number of electrons inside neutral atoms.

For stable chemical elements, although Z varies continuously from 1 for hydrogen to 106 for seaborgium, A varies from 1 for hydrogen to 263 for seaborgium. However, there are gaps of more than 50% missing atomic mass numbers: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 50, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 60, 61, 62, 63, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72, 74, 76, 77, 78, 81, 82, 83, 86, 87, 90, 92, 94, 95, 97, 99, 100, 102, 104, 105, 107, 109, 110, 111, 113, 114, 116, 117, 118, 120, 121, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 132, 134, 135, 136, 138, 142, 143, 146, 147, 148, 149, 151, 153, 154, 155, 156, 158, 160, 161, 162, 164, 166, 168, 170, 171, 172, 174, 176, 177, 178, 180, 182, 183, 185, 187, 188, 189, 191, 193, 194, 196, 198, 199, 200, 202, 203, 205, 206, 208, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 318, 219, 220, 221, 224, 225, 228, 229, 230, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 239, 240, 241, 242, 245, 246, 248, 249, 250, 253, 254, 255, and 256. There is no plausible explanation why this is happening. On the other hand, if radioisotopes are introduced many of these gaps can be filled, see Table 26-1 of Linus Pauling’s General Chemistry, p846-47, Dover Edition, 1988. But still their half-lives can vary as brief as a millionth quadrillionth of a second to as long as 5760 years for carbon-14.

Nevertheless, using the principle of even number conservation of space-time charges, these mass gaps can be explained as violations of the principle when there are odd multiples of the total space-time charges of the neutron ( 7, 7 ) configuration.

There seems to be an alchemedial process at work here?

If only it would work then it doesn't matter.

Hi AL,

You are one smart cowboy!
I'm impressed.

I'm not, but can fathon a guess that either man has yet to know all the elements to fill in the gaps, or as I suspect, the gaps are in the flaw of man's uncertain measure.

It would work if we kept it simple?

That is why we were given the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics.

But the simplest thing is the hardest to comprehend.

That's because we cannot seem to accept that simplicity is the way of POWER?

Is this a power for understanding or believing? Understanding why odd multiples of space-time charges cannot live long while even multiples live forever. If we believe that is so but without understanding why?
