INTERCHANGE OF CHARGE BETWEEN GASEOUS MOLECULES

The theoretical methods for calculation of charge‐exchange cross sections of Gurnee and Magee [J. Chem. Phys. 26, 1237 (1957)] have been applied to the reactions of H atoms with H+, O+, and N+. The agreement with experiment [Fite, et al., Phys. Rev. 119, 663 (1960); Hummer, et al., Phys. Rev. 119, 668 (1960)] is excellent considering the approximations involved in the theory.
