Abstract — The independence principle of electrode reactions is shown to be no more than a particular example of the theoretical-probabilistic regularities determined by the statistical nature of a large scope of systems studied by the chemical kinetics. It does not exclude but explains the possible mutual effect of different reactions on each other. In the case of a mass exchange between a structured solid and a solution or a gas, the independence principle should be formulated in terms of the superficial atom positions determined by the number of close neighbors.
