Abstract
The same apparatus used for the study of C has now been used to study the products of ionization in N and O. Thermal dissociation is so serious in N that the results are somewhat unsatisfactory but N, and are found as primary ions and their appearance potentials determined approximately. In O the results were more satisfactory and the apperance potentials 12.9, 16.3, 15.3, 21.4 were found for the primary ions , , N, respectively. In both gases other primary ions were probably present but obscured by ions from products of thermal dissociation. As in C the observed potentials agreed within the limits of error with calculated values.
