Abstract
It is supposed that the nucleus consists of α-particles, neutrons and zero or one proton, instead of the former structure scheme, α-particles, electrons and 0, 1, 2, 3 protons. The calculated mass defects Δm of the isotopes of a single element show an exact linear increase of Δm with the mass number (instead of the fluctuating function in the former structure scheme). The Δm-difference of the isotopes of each element is rather constant throughout the periodic system for even elements. The absolute values of the mass defects give a potential energy curve decreasing uniformly with increasing atomic number (instead of showing a minimum at the element No.50 in the former Structure scheme).
