Scientific paper

Detailed calculations are made to test the predictions of Duley et al. (1978) concerning the chemical reactivity of interstellar oxide grains. A method is established for calculating interaction energies between atoms and the perfect crystal with or without surface vacancy sites. The possibility of reactions between incident atoms and absorbed atoms is investigated. It is concluded that H2 formation can occur on the perfect crystal surfaces, and that for other diatomic molecules the important formation sites are the Fs and V22-centers. The outline by Duley et al. (1979) of interstellar oxide grain growth and destruction is justified by these calculations.
