Abstract

Summary The adiabatic (London) theory of reaction rates has been applied, for the first time, to reactions involving four atoms. It shows, unambiguously, that the thermal reaction of hydrogen with iodine will involve only iodine molecules, while the other halogens will react with hydrogen by way of the atoms. It shows further that the conversion of para to ortho hydrogen will involve an atom and a molecule rather than two molecules. It explains the ...
