Abstract
PROF, G. W. TODD1 has put forward evidence against the suggestion that the positron is a constituent of the nucleus. He states that for a definite atomic mass P, and a definite atomic number Z, the arrangement of α-particles, neutrons, etc., in the atomic nucleus should be such as to give a unique structure for the nucleus. Allowing the possibility of positrons, but excluding the possibility of unattached electrons, Todd constructed the following arrangement for the unique structure:where K = 0 or 1, whichever makes ½ (Z—K) an integer.
