Abstract
The recently suggested approach to the study of chemical reactivity in terms of the generalized and integral similarity indices is analyzed and discussed from the point of view of its compatibility with the principle of least motion. It is shown that the formulations of the similarity approach as initially introduced on an intuitive basis are consistent with that principle.
