Computational methods can help us understand exotic chemical processes in planetary atmosphere.
The team proposes that sulfur dioxide , broken down by sunlight to form sulfur monoxide and disulfur monoxide , provides a much faster pathway to forming disulfur than the combining of separate sulfur atoms.
compounds found in the Venusian atmosphere“For the first time, we are using computational chemistry techniques to determine which reactions are most important, rather than waiting for laboratory measurements to be done or using highly inaccurate estimates of the rate of unstudied reactions,” James Lyons, Planetary Science Institute senior scientist and an author of the paper, said in a
