The recent experimental result by Nguyen et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71, 062714 (2005)] on the ratio of cross sections for charge exchange processes Rb{sup +}+Rb(5s){yields}Rb(5p)+Rb{sup +} and Rb{sup +}+Rb(5p){yields}Rb(5s)+Rb{sup +} is quantitatively derived from simple considerations within the general framework of the quasimolecular theory. Contrary to the expectations, applicability of the Demkov model for charge exchange with small energy defect is not shattered.
