Reactions of Gaseous Molecule Ions with Gaseous Molecules. V. Theory

Gioumousis, George, Stevenson, D. P.·1958·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

Ion-molecule reactions of the sort observed as secondary reactions in mass spectrometers have been treated by the methods of the modern kinetic theory; that is, the rate of reaction is expressed in terms of the velocity distribution functions of the reactants and the cross section for the reaction. The cross section, which is calculated by means of the properties of the classical collision orbits, is found to have an inverse square root dependence on energy. The ion distribution function, which is far from Maxwellian, is found by means of an explicit solution of the Boltzmann equation. A simple relation is given which relates the mass spectrometric data to the specific rate of the same reaction under thermal conditions. For the simpler molecules, this rate may be calculated completely a priori, with excellent agreement with experiment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
