Is the Dominance of Even Carbon Atom Molecules Odd?

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The unexpected higher frequency of occurrence of even carbon atom molecules over odd carbon atom ones revealed through previous database searches is shown to be a consequence of the predominantly bimolecular nature of bond formation processes and the fact that combinations of odd and odd as well as even and even atom molecules result in even atom products whereas odd and even atom molecule combinations alone lead to odd atom products.
