Extract

Bethe's method is applied to determine statistically the rate of condensation of diatomic molecules which are adsorbed with dissociation to form an immobile film, the two atoms of one adsorbed molecule occupying two neighbouring sites. A lower limit to the number of gaps, or isolated unoccupied sites, in the final film is also obtained. The results calculated statistically agree with those obtained earlier by using models.
