Abstract
Reiss's classical treatment of the kinetics of homogeneous nucleation in a system containing two chemical components is extended to many‐component systems. The formulation is analogous to the pseudostationary state theory of chemical reaction rates with the free energy as a function of the composition of the embryo taking the place of the potential energy as a function of interatomic distances.Keywords
