Rates of Ion-Molecular Processes

摘要: For processes of the type $$A_1+A_2\rightarrow A_3+A_4,$$ (4.1) where A1–A4 are any particles (atoms or molecules), there still no firmly established names. The terms “charge transfer,” “transfer,” “ion-exchange reaction,” “reaction between ions and neutral particles” used. recently proposed term “ion exchange processes” is not entirely apt therefore, as was done in a study by Talrose [1] where this problem considered detail, we propose that (4.1) be called ion-molecular reactions, breaking them down (when need arises) into charge transfer (that is, an electron without change structure participating particles), $$X^++YZ\rightarrow X+YZ^+$$ (4.2) and heavy charged particle, XY^++Z,$$ (4.3) occurring with formation intermediate complex. latter may lead to results similar those new ions. Obviously, case $$X^++X_2\rightarrow X_2^++X,$$ (4.4) the two (4.2) (4.3) indistinguishable.
