Abstract
The enigma presented by the apparently straightforward experimental result that argon is about as effective as molecular gases in ionizing metals in flames is resolved. The theory described is consistent with the more recent measured ionization rate coefficients in the composite burnt gases (Kelly & Padley 1972) but insufficient is known concerning the many binary collision processes involved to allow quantitative predictions to be made.Keywords
