Notes:
Chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere may be investigated by sending rockets into the region of interest or by simulating conditions in the laboratory. Ultraviolet solar radiation dissociates and ionizes all types of particles present in the chemosphere. This results in recombination reactions of radicals, charge transfers, and chemical reactions of ions with neutral particles. In addition bimolecular reactions between neutral particles and reactions involving excited molecules take place.
