Abstract
The kinetics of recombination in a diatomic or polyatomic gas dispersing into a cavity is investigated in a model gas with one ionization potential and one electron affinity. In addition to the recombination reaction in triple collisions, which play the most important role in the case of a monatomic gas [1], dissociative recombination, ion-atom charge transfer, and reactions involving negative ions are considered. The qualitative differences in the kinetics of recombination of a molecular gas (in comparison with a monatomic gas) are due to the smallness of the relative electron concentrations at the instant of disturbance of ionization equilibrium and to the important contribution of dissociative recombination reactions and the kinetics of formation and recombination of negative ions.
