Abstract
The absence of C‐H bonds in aprotic and particularly in molecular liquids possessing a wide liquid range enhances the probability of observing α processes in these liquids. Evidence for electron multiplication and breakdown in the liquid phase of sulfur is presented. Current‐voltage nonlinearities and the bubble‐free development of electrical discharges are observed.Keywords
