So these layers are deflected away from each other. When tetron-shell is produced only on Positron Shell Shell Axis Deuteron Figure 8.13 one side, resulting particle is a proton. In most cases tetron-layers are formed in pair to enclose both hemispheres of positron. So production of protons, in nature is comparatively less. Since it is more probable, there are more deuterons in nature than protons.
Deuterons are major components of nuclei of atoms.
At present each of these deuterons in atomic nuclei are considered as one proton plus one neutron. In most atoms only deuterons are used with additional neutrons to form its nucleus. Use of protons in nuclei of atoms, other than hydrogen, is rare due to low availability of protons. Any free proton in space will readily form an atom of hydrogen with an electron and hence availability of free protons during formation of nuclei is greatly reduced. Shells formed about both hemispheres of positrons are symmetrical about its axis.
