Abstract
The classical -particle model has been consistently applied to all nuclei in the shell. The nucleus was found to be a distorted tetrahedron in agreement with earlier investigations. Electron scattering form factors were predicted, but there are at present no experimental data for comparison. Most interesting results were obtained for , where the experimental matrix elements, energy spectrum, and electron scattering form factors were found to definitely favor a bitetrahedron over the square bipyramid used in other papers. Recent experiments on also slightly favor an oblate structure over the previously considered pentagonal bipyramid. No definite structures could be established for and , because of the large number of particles involved. However, a unique structure was found for . It consists of six clusters arranged in an octahedron outside of a tetrahedral core.
