Abstract
Went's proposal that nuclei evolve from volatile plant emanations is developed into a model of particles composed of terpene-oxygen copolymers which is consistent with the observations of Bricard and others. Since under appropriate circumstances the reactions leading to particle growth are reversible, particles are metastable in Goetz' sense, and may evaporate if the temperature rises or the monomer gas pressure decreases. The Kelvin factor modifies the monomer gas pressure which is in equilibrium with small particles.
