Measurements were made of the cross sections for the loss and capture of one or two electrons by nitrogen and neon ions with charges from 1 to 7 or 8 as they pass through helium, nitrogen, neon and argon with velocities v equal to 2.7 x 10/sup 8/, 4 x 10/sup 8/, and 8 x 10/sup 8/ cm/sec. At v< or =4 x 10/sup 8/ cm/sec a substantial difference was observed between the cross sections for electron capture in states with different values of the principal quantum number n at equal binding energies. A nonmonotonic dependence of the investigated cross section of the charge Z/sub c/ of the nuclei of the atoms of the medium at vapprox.10/sup 9/ cm/sec is observed and investigated.
