ANNUAL REPORTS ON THE PROGRESS OF CHEMISTRY. RADIOACTIVITY AND SUB-ATOMIC PHENOMENA. T h e study of subatomic phenomena has been made possible through the development of a number of special research tools. Some of them have been known for several years, but others have" been invented quite recently. On the whole, the methods of nuclear physics have been fairly stationary for some time, and it is felt that a survey might be welcome to chemists. Only few subatomic phenomena occur spontaneously in Nature, viz., those connected with natural radioactivity and with cosmic radiation. All others have to be produced by artificial means, and because of the great stability of all nuclear structures it is necessary to concentrate large energy on a single particle. The only known way of doing this is to place an electrically charged particle in a strong electrical field in which it gets accelerated. The ultimate kinetic energy achieved is equal to the potential difference through which the particle moved in the process of acceleration, multiplied by its charge.

It is cycled in the environment and undergoes transformations of its chemical forms. Although the number of chemical species encountered in environmental and biological samples is not large, the range of matrices and the toxicological significance of mercury, with a consequent need for ultra-trace determination, have resulted in a considerable analytical literature. Sensitive and selective methods for mercury determination, micro methods for the determination of mercury species, the occurrence of mercury species in the various environmental compartments, and analytical considerations, including the availability of certified reference materials, are reviewed.

    Kinetic and mass-spectrometric studies of atmospherically relevant mercury-bromine chemistry Elise-Andrée Guérette Department of Chemistry McGill University Montréal, Québec, Canada October 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the require­ ments of the degree of Master of Science ©Elise-Andrée Guérette, 2010. All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements My thanks go out to Dr. Daniel Deeds for his help with everything having to do with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Working with you was always a pleasure. Alain Tessier from CBAMS at Concordia Univer­ sity was immensely helpful and creative in his problem solving. Thanks also to Graydon Snider for helpful discussions and helping me get started with the kinetic work. Edward Hudson, Nermin Eltouny, Daniel Deeds, Graydon Snider and Ma­ hamud Subir all proofread this thesis and provided helpful comments. I would also like to extend grateful thanks to my supervisor, Parisa Ariya, for her understanding and patience, and for providing me with this opportunity. Thanks also for reading this thesis before its submission and for providing valu­ able comments. Fred Kluck, Rick Rossi and George Kopp from the Department of Chemistry deserve mention for their help building and repairing things, often at short notice. Thanks also to FQRNT, the Department of Chemistry at McGill, and the Dr. and Mrs. Milton Leong fund for providing personal financial assistance during the course of my studies. Thanks last, but perhaps most of all, to my spouse, Craig Titchener, who stood by me every step of the way. Thank you. II Abstract Bromine radicals are thought to play an important role in the chemistry of atmospheric elemental mercury, however uncertainties remain concerning the rate and the mechanism of the reaction.
