Thanks, mfb. I will do more homework. Maybe instead of using A.W. I will stick with just the stable nuclides. I just thought there might be a connection to geometry and stability, or that someone might wonder why no one is aware of what seems to be a close approximation of nature purely based on...

Yes, I understand there are no balls. Is it possibly useful to think of them as balls just like it can be useful to think of nuclei as drops? The series can be used for all of the nuclei, not just 4 of them. For example: F=((n-2)/10)^1/2 Theoretical A.W. Actual A.W. Correlation...

Could the stability of a nuclide be partly due to its geometry? The equations are not from a fitting procedure. The first one is a hollow icosahedral shell formula. The second is centered icosahedral numbers. http://oeis.org/A005901 http://oeis.org/A005902

Why do the ratios of these equations closely correlate to the proton/neutron ratios of the nuclides in the 'valley of stability'? p+=(10)F^2+2 and n0=(10/3)F^3+(5)F^2+(11/3)F+1

Is this equation derived from the curve? Is there an equation which predicts the P/N curve if this one doesn't do that?

Has anyone observed or discovered a correlation between concentric icosahedral shells and proton/neutron ratios?

Is there a formula which predicts the P/N ratio?
