Elastic, diffusion, and viscosity cross sections for collisions of two hydrogen atoms in excited electronic states have been calculated by solving the Schrödinger equation with interaction potentials obtained by full configuration-interaction calculations. Viscosity and thermal conductivity have been reported as a function of the principal quantum number.
