An apparatus previously described has been employed in a study of the dissociation produced by primary electron impact in CO and O 2. The processes studied in O 2 are O 2−→ O−+ O at 2.9 v and O 2−→ O−+ O* at 12.0 v with an estimated accuracy of±0.2 v. These figures refer to the potential energy of the dissociation products, the normal molecule considered as zero. These results give two values of E 0, the electron affinity of the oxygen atom, both equal to 2.2±0.2 v. The processes studied in CO are C O−→ C+ O− at 9.5 v, CO→ C++ O− at 20.9 v, and C O+→ C++ O at 22.8 v, with an estimated accuracy of±0.1 v. It is concluded that D (CO) may have one of two possible values, 9.6±0.1 or 11.6±0.1 v. These experiments are unable to decide between the two but most of the evidence from other sources points to the lower value. If D (CO)= 9.6 v we must admit the possibility of stable excited O− ions. However, if D (CO)= 11.6 v, these experiments on CO give two values of E 0, 1.9 and 2.1 v. The processes involved in the formation of negative ions by electron impact are discussed.
