Question

what's meant by polarization in chemistry,?

Explain Briefly but in simple words & better to give example and then explain ​

Answer 1

Answer:

it means when a small cation came in contacty with large anion then the electron cloud of anion get distroyed and it is attracted towards the cation . it is said that electron cloud get polarised to envelope of the cation.

p.p is directly proportional to charge of ion , size of anion

Answer 2

Answer:

The displacement of positive and negative electric charge to opposite ends of a nuclear, atomic, molecular, or chemical system, especially by subjection to an electric field. Atoms and molecules have some inherent polarization. Polarization results in a reduction of the electric potential across the voltaic cell.
