TL;DR: In this paper, the size of molecules of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen was investigated and the dispersion and size of the molecules of these molecules were discussed. But the authors focused on the distribution of molecules rather than their size.

TL;DR: In this article, the partial separation by thermal diffusion of gases of equal molecular weight is discussed, and the authors propose a method to solve the problem of partial separation of gases in the presence of thermal diffusion.

TL;DR: It appears from the foregoing experiments that no characteristic positive emissions are given off by the following salts: AgCl, AgI, PbCl2, PBBr2, PtCl2 and CuCl2 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the high frequency limits of the spectra of helium, hydrogen, and mercury when stimulated by large electron currents under potentials up to about 800 volts have been determined.
Abstract: Summary The most important results of this investigation may be summarized as follows:— The high frequency limits of the spectra of helium, hydrogen, and mercury when stimulated by large electron currents under potentials up to about 800 volts have been determined. The measurements are believed to be most accurate for helium and least accurate for mercury. The helium spectrum extends to a limit which is certainly between 470 and 420 and probably near to the latter value. The hydrogen spectrum terminates at a wave-length between 830 and 950 Angstrom units and probably close to 900. The mercury spectrum terminates at a wave-length between 1000 and 1200 Astrom units. So far as we are able to ascertain, the observed terminal frequencies are identical with the frequencies calculated from Bohr's theoretical values of the ionization potentials of the respective gases, and they exhibit no obvious relationship to the ionization potentials which have been determined experimentally by Franck and Hertz and others.
