Abstract

A chemical network determining the formation and destruction of C+, C, and CO and other species is set up and applied to spherical clouds in the normal interstellar radiation field. The spherical geometry adopted gives results which are different from those for slab models. The sensitivity of chemical species to chemical and astronomical parameters is explored. The relevance of this work to the observations is discussed.
