The Neutronic Schemata: Beyond the Periodic Table of the Elements

In the literature of chemistry and physics much emphasis is given to the electrical neutrality of theone-to-one relationship of the proton and the electron, with the neutron tacked on as an afterthought. But, the role of the neutron is evidently significant, although it is generally not mentioned whenspeaking about the properties and charatceristics of the elements. Those features and their determinationare generally reserved for the protonic and electronic counts (configurations). However, the neutron plays just as a significant role as the proton and the electron. The production of isotopes attests to this aspect of the elements.
