Question

what is polarization in chemistry

Answer 1

the appearance of partial positive and partial negative charge on a molecule of compound(covalent) like H2O due to difference in eletronegativiy of constituent atoms....this is called polar nature of a molecule or ionic nature in a covalent molecule.....

Answer 2

Polarizability is the ability to form instantaneous dipoles. It is a property of matter. Polarizabilities determine the dynamical response of a bound system to external fields, and provide insight into a molecule's internal structure.
