Abstract

Critical Cluster Homogeneous Nucleation Nitro Methane Polar Liquid Polar Substance
Homogeneous nucleation in supersaturated vapors of highly polar substances such as CH3CN, CH3NO2, C6H5CN and C6H5NO2 has been studied by use of a diffusion cloud chamber. The results are in serious disagreement with the predictions of the classical nucleation theory. The discrepancy has been explained in terms of dipole-dipole interaction within the curved surface of the embryonic droplets.
