Abstract
A mass-spectrograph study of n-octane (C8H18) indicates that when bombarded by 120 e-volt electrons, it dissociates into a large number of small fragments, of which those containing two or three carbon atoms (and some hydrogen) are most numerous. Ions containing odd numbers of H atoms are produced in larger quantities than those containing even numbers. The octane molecule displays a greater tendency to break up than does benzene (reported in a previous paper), which is in accordance with the reactions of these compounds in gaseous electrical discharges.
