Abstract
Observed microwave collision diameters are interpreted as arising exclusively from transitions induced during the collision. Collision diameters greater than kinetic theory values arise from dipole-dipole or dipole-quadrupole interactions. The former case affords a quantitative test of the theory. In the latter case measurements of collision diameters yield quadrupole moment measurements which are correlated with molecular structure.Keywords
