| Abstract | The thermal decomposition of sodium azide has been studied in the temperature range 240–360ÀC in vacuum and under pressure of an inert gas, argon. The results show that the decomposition is partial 360ÀC. From the observations made in the present work, namely: (i) the decomposition is incomplete both under vacuum and inert gas; (ii) mass spectrometric studies do not reveal any decrease in the intensity of the background species, CO+2, CO+, H2O+, and (iii) sodium metal remains in the ‘free state’ as seen by the formation of a metallic mirror at temperatures above 300ÀC, it has been argued that the partial nature of decompostion is due to the confinement of the decomposition to intermosaic regions within the lattice. |
