The focus in this study is on the formation of the NO2 molecule on the O+NO system, which is the atom-diatom reaction that occurs the most according to the molecular concentrations formed as a result of lightning flashes. In this study, it was mentioned that another external effect that affects NO2 molecule concentrations, other than temperature and visible electromagnetic radiation, is the electric field. This will suppress the formation of O2 at high temperatures and the formation of NO concentration at low temperature, as it increases the barrier in the product channel on the reaction pathway and NO+O recombination in the reactant channel under favorable conditions. Under these two conditions, the NO2 population might be supported by electric field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
