Figure 5. - The Double Tetrahedron Structure of the Nucleus

(a) The periods in the periodic system, except for the first period, are repeated. The length of the periods is consistent with quantum predictions; however, development of the shells is not K-L-M-N-O-P-Q but rather K-L-L-M-M-N-N.

(b) The double periodicity of the L, M, and N shells is visibly present in any characteristic features of the elements. As an example the first ionization energy of the element has been plotted.

Figure 5. The symmetry cycles of the double tetrahedron nuclear structure and the periodicity of the elements are identical.
