Argon 36
Nuclear structure of

Argon 36 

(stable). Click on image for central tube C12.

Blue toruses = 36 protons
Red toruses = 18 nuclear electrons

Atomic number of Ar36 = protons (36) - nuclear electrons (18) = (18)
Atomic number of Ar40 = protons (40) - nuclear electrons (22) = (18)

The central rod of Ar36 analogous with Carbon 12 (stable) nucleus. Ar36 = C12 + 6 He4 alpha particles

The central rod of Ar38i analogous with Carbon 14 (half life = 5700 y) nucleus. Ar38i = C14 + 6 He4 alpha particles

The nucleus of Ar40 builds up by 4T+14D, in a line, stable. No way for ring.
