Ames National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), operated by and located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
For more than 70 years, the Ames National Laboratory has successfully partnered with Iowa State University, and is unique among the 17 DOE laboratories in that it is physically located on the campus of a major research university. Many of the scientists and administrators at the Laboratory also hold faculty positions at the University and the Laboratory has access to both undergraduate and graduate student talent.
The Department of Chemistry seeks to provide students with a foundation in the fundamentals and application of chemical theories and processes of the lab. Thus prepared they me pursue careers as teachers, industry supervisors, or research chemists in a variety of domains (governmental, academic, etc).
History
The Department of Chemistry was founded in 1880.

Abstract
We consider the generalization of the kinematic apse to nonreactive polyatom–polyatom impulsive collisions, dissociative atom–molecule impulsive collisions,and (partially) impulsive reactive atom–diatom collisions. Appropriate generalizations of the kinematic apse are obtained along which there is a classical propensity for preserving the projection of the total intrinsic spin. In the case of reactive scattering, we discuss several different situations for which such a propensity occurs. For reactive systems in which no such propensity exists, the analysis may still provide a basis for classifying reactions.
