The basis of these studies were some general conclusions from the work of M. Faraday, which play a crucial role in the development of ideas about the nature of chemical bonding and the practical application of electrochemical processes. In the 20th century, a huge amount of experimental material was accumulated, confirming the practical significance of M. Faraday’s views on the effects of electric current on chemical reactions. 1. Identity of energy manifestations in the interaction of material objects. 2. The discrete nature of the electric current. The concept of the discrete nature of electric current led to the discovery of an electron as a “carrier” of electric energy. The discreteness of the electron flow allows a combination of the parameters of the electric current over a wide range, the shape of the electrical signal, the rate of influence of the flow of electrons on chemical systems, etc. This makes it possible to organize unusual chemical reactions. The provision on the identity of energy manifestations in the interaction of material objects provides the basis for revising the scientific provisions on the mechanism of heat transfer (and, in general, energy exchange) between material objects. Modern science has accumulated a great deal of experimental material, including on the unusual behavior of condensed systems under the influence of various energetic influences, which gives grounds for revising some of the fundamental tenets of physical chemistry and theoretical inorganic chemistry.
