The role of active sites in heterogeneous nucleation can be understood on the basis of chemical thermodynamics as chemical reaction sites. The basic assumption is the formation of a chemical bond between the atoms (or molecules) of the nuclei with the atoms (or molecules) of the active site. This view on nucleation will be applicable to all cases where the nucleating phase has a sufficient chemical affinity to the active site.
