Abstract

This paper calls attention to the existence of a stable class of nuclei which charged are termed Langevin ions and uncharged can be called Langevin nuclei. These have diameters lying around 10 −6 to 10 −6 cm, depending on humidity, and consist of on the order of 10 6 H 2O molecules often formed about some chemical center. They readily lead to cloudy condensation on supersaturation. The various processes by which such nuclei are generated form the basis of this paper. The hazes produced by aggregates of such particles frequently are mistakenly called smogs though they may come from such natural causes as the evaporation of sea fogs.
