Closed analytical expressions are obtained for the shapes of the modified Compton lines scattered from the elements H to Ne, in atomic form. The widths of the Compton lines are calculated for these atoms, and conditions of resolution from the unmodified lines are obtained. Certain errors in other work on this subject are noted and corrected. The width of the Compton line, as determined experimentally, for diatomic molecules is about 15 to 25% greater than for isolated monatomic atoms.
