Abstract
Within a theory which unifies the nuclear collective and single-particle models and which is valid for arbitrary vibrational amplitudes, the average positiveness of the electric quadrupole moments follows from two requirements: (1) The nucleons have to stay within the range of nuclear forces for a strongly deformed nucleus; (2) the wave functions on the average do not show any preference for prolate or oblate shape.Keywords
