I find this interesting, but I am no chemist. It sounds like you are talking about element like argon. Am I correct? If that is the case, how could elements with atomic number 114, 120 and/or 126 be an island of stability? Is there a difference between stability and inert? Sorry for the questions, just trying to piece together my high school chem from 25 years ago.

I'm talking about nuclear shells, not electron shells.
