Investigation of the Interactions of Ions and Neutral Atoms and Molecules.
Abstract
The report reviews some of the earlier results on the reactions of Na with K with atmospheric ions. Improved sensitivity of the merging beams machine made it possible to distinguish between reactions with ground state and excited state reactants. The bond strength of NaO(+) was found. The rate constant for the reaction Mg + O2(+) to MgO + O and for Al + O2(+) to AlO(+) + O was found. The reactions of Mg with NO(+), N2(+) and CO are also discussed. The exothermic reactions proceed via a stripping mechanism, the endothermic reactions via a rebound mechanism. (Author)
