Abstract
As I have shown elsewhere1, the introduction of negative protons into nuclear structure leads to the possibility of the existence of isomeric nuclei, that is, nuclei with the same atomic number and atomic weight but different internal structure (a pair of positive and negative protons instead of a pair of neutrons). As an example, the nucleus of uranium-Z was given, which seems to be isomeric with uranium-X2.
