Scientific paper

The distributions of various kinds of molecular ions in the atmospheres of new and old comets made up from dirty ice of the second kind (H2O ice and hydrate clathrates of CO and N2) have been computed at various heliocentric distances, taking into account photoionization, ion-molecular reactions, electron-ion recombination, and some transport effects. The results have been compared with observations and other computations. It is argued that the model of dirty ice of the second kind will impose a restriction on the theory of the origin of the solar system.
