There exists a critical nuclei size below which a nucleus will re-dissolve and above which the nucleus will grow. We can solve for the critical nuclei radius by setting derivative of Gibbs free energy expression with respect to r equal to zero (maximum of energy expression). We can plug r* into energy expression to solve for critical activation energy for nucleation.
