Abstract
A key problem in the theory of a supersaturated vapor nucleation on molecular condensation nuclei (namely, the work of formation and the equilibrium concentrations of clusters) is considered. To calculate these quantities using the structural models of clusters, which are better suited for this purpose than the classical droplet model, we derive the equation connecting the work of transfer of a molecular condensation nucleus from the gas phase to a homogeneous cluster with a change in the number of contacts between molecules, occurring in the course of this transfer, and with the work of rupture of individual contacts.
