A general kinetic theory, which takes explicit account of the phenomena occurring at reconstructible surfaces while adsorption or desorption proceed, is proposed. The theory contains a few free parameters which specify the adsorption and desorption rate constants, and the reconstruction and irreversibility degrees of the process.
