The kinetic model of electrochemical nucleation of micro- and nanoparticles is studied. The functional dependence of probability of the energy of the particle on the relative radius found earlier is used in nucleation in the statistical Heisenberg model. On the basis of the proposed theory, a simple ratio for calculating the probabilities of kinetic processes is obtained for the case of electrochemical nucleation.
