The kinematics of the reaction O+(4S)+N2→NO++N were studied using crossed molecular beams. Product angular and energy distributions were measured for the initial relative translational energy range of 1.5–15.8 eV. The products are formed in their ground electronic states. The product distributions are described, with some deviations, by the spectator stripping model. No evidence was found for a persistent complex or for a second mechanism. A scattering chamber study at 0° lab was made of the related reactions 15N++14NO→15N14N+, 15NO+, 14NO+. Our results are discussed in terms of possible surface hopping effects.
