Abstract
IN order to prevent confusion of issues, instead of Cl and Cl′ let us write A and B. Then when we say that A and B are identical, we mean that all the properties of A and B are the same except that of position occupied. Thus we are enabled to divide the atoms into two groups, the A group and the B group, in spite of their identity of properties. Then it is quite certain that if the atoms exist as molecules A2, B2 and AB, in equilibrium by the reversible. reaction A2 + B2⇌2AB, the equilibrium is given by [AB]2/[A2][B2]=K=4.
