Abstract
The recent classical treatment of the rates of bimolecular association reactions proposed by Kimball is extended, and found to involve an essentially different dependence of reaction probability on vibrational energy initially present in the natural coordinates as kinetic energy from that present as potential energy. Since this difference can scarcely have any quantum-mechanical analog, it is concluded that a classical treatment cannot be satisfactory.
