Blue toruses = 7 protons
Red toruses = electrons, yes, 3 nuclear electrons
Atomic number of Be (4) = protons (7) - nuclear electrons (3)
Beryllium 7 transform by K electron capture of
Beryllium 7 and Lithium 7 produced: Be7 + e- = Li7
(K electron capture can only occur at the end of the nuclear nanotube, NOT into the central part of proton rod of nucleus).
