Description
The purpose of this work is to determine: (1) if the patch model of adsorption of water vapor on pure silver iodide is valid at nucleation; (2) if the energetics of nucleation are comparable to the energetics of adsorption; (3) the mechanism of nucleation on pure silver iodide; and (4) how nucleation observed by adsorption methods compares to cloud chamber studies.

Description
Basic thermodynamic concepts are applied to the condensation of a vapor resulting in a general expression for the free energy change of the system for the formation of a nucleation embryo.
