Abstract
Instability of molecules in high rotational states, as observed especially in HgH and AlH, is a phenomenon whose quantum-mechanical explanation is closely analogous to that of the radioactive disintegration of atomic nuclei. The heat of dissociation of AlH from its normal state is estimated to be 3.07 volts.Keywords
