The Smart Model Uranium 238 with a theoretical analysis of it's structure...
To make Uranium 238 ( U238) using The Smart Model ( theoretically) just add 8
more double proton bonds ( or 8 alpha particles He+) to the Radon buckyball
structure. When the U238 decays there is a release of alpha particles ( He+ or
( a double strong nuclear proton bond) )and beta particles ( e- electrons). The
U238 has an unstable "buckyball" spherical shape structure. As the alpha
particles are released the buckyball becomes smaller for the U238. During a
U238 atomic explosion, these "buckyballs" collide and begin to totally fall
apart into various sub-structures like the deuterium atoms and Helium and so
on, until the original buckyball is annihillated. The Strong Nuclear bonds
formed by the the double and single proton bonds makes the original U238
buckyball structure.
You may ask what about the electrons and neutrons in U238, or the other
Smart Model elements. It is just understood. There is the same number of
electrons (((IN))) the buckyball structure as protons ( NO ELECTRON ORBITALS)
and just subtract the atomic weight by the atomic number to get the number of
neutrons. The neutrons assist in the structure connections in the buckyball.
Below is a Smart Model Radon element structure using the basic buckyball. The
various elements Fr. Ra, Ac, Ce....., U238, that leads up to the U238, is just
the addition of proton single and/or double strong nuclear bonds that make the
correct atomic number and weight for each element found on the Periodic Table
of Elements in the buckyball structure.
Radon has a more stable buckyball structure than U238.
