To understand ion transport properties, such as ion mobility, using the classical approach of diatomic ions in atomic gas at low temperatures, we employed two methods to calculate the mobility of 
ions in helium gas. Both methods are performed using the ab initio potential energy surfaces provided by Gharibi et al. We used the modified version of Monchick–Mason approximation MMA2 to calculate the effective transport cross sections and effective potentials. The results obtained are compared with the available experimental data.
