Abstract

A FEW years ago it was observed by Baly and Duncan (Jour. Chem. Soc., 121, 1008; 1922) that ammonia gas drawn quickly from a cylinder containing liquid ammonia was less rapidly decomposed on a hot platinum wire than gas drawn slowly from the same cylinder, or obtained in certain other ways. They offered as a possible explanation that ammonia molecules may exist in two forms of different reactivity, which may be separated or perhaps converted entirely into one form under suitable conditions.
