Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is one of the central challenges in nuclear physics. == Models == === Cluster model === The cluster model describes the nucleus as a molecule-like collection of proton-neutron groups (e.g., alpha particles) with one or more valence neutrons occupying molecular orbitals.
