11. Heat transfer is involved and entropy is increased making the solution more dipole moment and polarizability . 12. This is due to the increased polarizability of molecules with larger, more dispersed electron clouds. 13. The polarizability of the halides and the polarity of the molecules makes them useful as solvents. 14. The intensity of the Raman scattering is proportional to the electric dipole-electric dipole polarizability change. 15. For homogenous liquids such as water, increased accuracy has been achieved through the inclusion of polarizability . 16. Fluorine is highly electronegative and attracts the electrons in the lattice, lowering the polarizability of the material. 17. Also the polarizability is isotropic, so that pure rotational transitions cannot be observed by Raman spectroscopy either. 18. In general, halomethanes are volatile but less so than methane because of the polarizability of the halides. 19. Its static polarizability was computed to be of the same order of magnitude as that of the fullerene. 20. Early work in this field was carried out by George Placzek, who developed the theoretical treatment of bond polarizability
