Abstract
The experimental and theoretical absolute rates for the nonadiabatic decomposition of N2O are shown to be in good agreement. The amount of chemical inertia present in other reactions involving the singlet‐triplet transition of oxygen is considered. A convenient method of constructing potential functions for polyatomic molecules which fit the spectroscopic data, and which reduce in the proper way for the various dissociation processes, is indicated, and is carried through for the N2O molecule.Keywords
