Blue toruses = 36 protons
Red toruses = 18 nuclear electrons
Atomic number of Ar36 = protons (36) - nuclear electrons (18) = (18), with structure 0T+6D + 6He4.
Atomic number of Ar38 = protons (38) - nuclear electrons (20) = (18), with structure 2T+10D + 6D.
Atomic number of Ar40 = protons (40) - nuclear electrons (22) = (18), with structure 4T+14D.
The central rod of Ar36 analogous with Carbon 12 (stable) nucleus. Ar36 = C12 + 6 He4 alpha particles
The central rod of Ar38 analogous with Magnesium 26 (stable) nucleus. Ar38 nucleus = Mg26 + 6D particles
The nucleus of Ar40 builds up by 4T+14D, in a line, stable. No way for ring.
