The method of Shuler and Zwanzig is extended to permit the calculation of collisional transition probabilities for triatomic molecules having harmonic intramolecular potentials and interacting impulsively with the bombarding atoms. Only colinear systems are considered. The results are qualitatively similar to those obtained for atom–diatomic systems. Excitation of the symmetric mode of oscillation is favored over the antisymmetric mode in the systems considered.
