Though there has long been uncertainty as to the nature of active nitrogen, the matter was in part settled in the mass-spectrometric studies of Jackson and Schiff, and Berkowitz, Chupka, and Kistiakowsky, where the only components detectable in a gas mixture at about l mm. pressure and containing about one percent active nitrogen were the ground state molecule and the 4S atom. This observation was, of course, consistent with most of the known properties of active nitrogen, in particular Wrede gauge measurements, the chemical behaviour, and the kinetics exhibited in the emission of the afterglow.
