Your post is not sufficiently specific.

Are you talking about a proton and an electron with a 'common spin' as
a 'buffer' between two protons, or are you trying to describe two
electrons with a 'common spin' as a 'buffer' between two protons? Which
particles have a 'common spin'? Do you realize that spin-spin
interaction between two particles the spins of which have the same
orientation is a *repulsion*?

BTW, the word 'buffer' in physical chemistry has a very specific
meaning distinct from that it migh have in baking (as the stuffing in a
sandwich cookie) or in railroading. In physical chemistry a 'buffer'
in a substance added to an aqueous solution to reduce the sensitivity
of the solution to changes in pH from the addition of other materials.

Your comprehension and communication skills would benefit from mastery
of the vocabulary.

Actually, one would need *two* proton-electron pairs between
two protons.

I am using words to create pictures.
If any of the words isn't completely conforming
to its accepted meaning according to whatever arcane
rules by whatever pseudoscience, well, 'tant pis'.
Look at the big picture and use your brain.
Nit-picking ain't gonna get you back to Kansas, Alice.
