During the last few years we have made in Oxford an investigation of a number of gaseous reactions with the chief object of applying the principles of the kinetic theory and discovering the mechanism of “activation.” In order to make clear the bearing of the fresh experiments described in this paper it will be convenient first to give a brief summary of the general development of the enquiry
