Possible models of V·particles, mainly concerned with VO (V10)·particles, are investigated in a systematic way on the basis of their characteristic features, one being experimental evidences and the other theoretical requirements such as the stability of nuclei and the charge independence. The latters play a role for ruling out a proposed decay mode, VO_p + n+ Y, and the single production of hot VO·particles, respectively. Since ·the pair production of VO-particles seems unfavourable according to recent experimental evidences, we are led to propose a model as· considerably plausible that is based upon the classification of elementary particles due to the generalization of the Pais' even·odd rule. Introducing a pair of short lived X-particles yet unobserved, the production and decay of VO-particles take place through the following interactions:
