<abstract>
<p>Atmospheric isoprene can be oxidizene SOA yield on NO&lt;em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/em&gt; concentrations was investigated by performing a series of batch chamber experiments; both the gas and aerosol phase chemical species were characterized using High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (HR-TOF-CIMS) and High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-TOF-AMS), along with an Observation-Based Model (OBM) incorporated with the Master Chemical Mechanism (OBM-MCM model) simulation. We found that NO&lt;em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/em&gt; could influence the formation of the ultralow volatility organic compounds (ULVOCs, log&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; C&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;lt; &amp;minus;8.5), low volatility organic compounds (LVOCs, &amp;minus;4.5 &amp;lt; log&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; C&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;lt; &amp;minus;0.5) and extremely low volatility organic compounds (ELVOCs, &amp;minus;8.5 &amp;lt; log&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; C&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;lt; &amp;minus;4.5) by changing the RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; fate, which are the critical compounds in nucleation and condensation in particle phase respectively. The SOA of isoprene photooxidation was mainly from RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+HO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+NO pathways. When RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+HO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; was the dominant RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; fate, the SOA yield increased with the fraction of RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+HO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+NO increasing. While when NO is the major sink for RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+NO would inhibit the formation low volatile VOCs and affect the SOA yield. The branching ratio term (&amp;beta;) is used to denote the competitive relationship between the two RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; fates (RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+HO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+NO). The loss rate of RO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;+HO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; pathway was maximized at a branching ratio &amp;beta; of 0.5 ([NO&lt;em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/em&gt;]/[Isoprene]=0.77), when more low volatiles were produced and the SOA yield reached maximum. The branching rate term (&amp;beta;) can be used as a reference for field campaign and modeling.</p>
