Abstract
Measurements of the low-field mobility of the negative ions in , S, S, and HCl are described. The results are 2.46, 0.57, 0.35, and 0.71 /v-sec, respectively, reduced to 0°C and 760 mm Hg pressure. A quantum-mechanical theory of ionic mobility is outlined and applied to the gases investigated experimentally. Comparison of the experimental and theoretical results indicates that the oxygen ion is , but attempts to identify the ions in the other gases are inconclusive.
