Abstract
In the previous three chapters basic methods for describing atomic and molecular collisions were developed. Although results and calculations were occasionally shown, the emphasis was to obtain the tools needed to understand which processes occur with what probabilities when atoms and molecules collide. In this chapter some experimental results and computations are presented and described in terms of the ideas already developed. The selection of results shown is not at all intended to be comprehensive. It is also somewhat arbitrary, as many excellent experiments have been performed on large numbers of systems and those chosen are not necessarily the “best” results or even the most recent. Those presented are ones with which I was familiar, which elucidate certain ideas already considered and/or will be used in Chapter 6 to discuss macroscopic phenomena. Again I refer the reader to not only the many excellent texts, but also reference tables of atomic and molecular collision results.
