Interest in the chemistry of sodium in the upper atmosphere has been renewed because of new measurements of neutral sodium concentrations. In developing a model that would explain Na(+) and Na densities and their altitude profile, it has been determined that it might be difficult to maintain a large equilibrium concentration of NaOH, particularly at altitudes near 40 km, since reactions between NaOH and certain minor atmospheric constituents may be feasible at this altitude. In addition, besides sodium, compounds of other metals such as Si, Mg, Fe, and Al, may also react with various chlorinated species. Discussion covers a few of these reactions.
