Nuclear and Non-nuclear Polyhedra:
“The closest packed” nucleated “octahedron requires 18 spheres; the tetrahedron 34; the rhombic dodecahedron 92;and the cube 364. The other two symmetric Platonic solids, the icosahedron and the dodecahedron, are inherently devoid of equiradius nuclear spheres, having insufficient radius space within the triangular void. This suggests both electron and neutron behavior relationships for the icasa-hedron and the dodecahedron. The nucleation of the octahedron, tetrahedron, rhombic dodecahedron, and cube very probably play important parts in the atomic structuring, as well as in the chemical compounding and in crystallography.”
