Abstract
Once the initial transients have died out, the rate constant for the dissociation or recombination of a dilute diatomic gas bears the same kind of relationship to individual translation–vibration transition probabilities as does the conductance of a generalized resistance network to the individual resistance components. Thus, it is not possible to single out any one transition which "controls" the rate of dissociation or recombination.
