Molecular polarization involves the separation of electric charge in a molecule due to the result of an
induced external field leading to a dipole having a positive charge on one side and the negative charge at
the other end. This helps us to know the characteristics of molecules and how they react with others. It is
also helpful to know their physical and chemical properties. Molecular polarization also includes its
intermolecular forces, dielectric behavior and chemical reaction. It also talks about the difference in
electronegativity of the combining atom, its molecular geometry binding patterns and shows how the
external field affect it. The percentage static polarization for each element in m^3 were determined as per
the MATLAB program of alpha_Cl2 = 4.48e-30, % chlorine (Cl2) alpha_Be = 2.78e-30, % beryllium (Be)
alpha_Ca = 4.2e-30, % calcium (Ca) alpha_Mg = 4.1e-30, % magnesium (Mg) and alpha_Br2 = 5.25e-
30, % bromine (Br2). Also percentage calculation of frequency-dependent polarization using the given
formula P_m_Cl2 = P_s_Cl2 ./ (1 + 1i * omega * tau), P_m_Be = P_s_Be ./ (1 + 1i * omega * tau),
P_m_Ca = P_s_Ca ./ (1 + 1i * omega * tau), P_m_Mg = P_s_Mg ./ (1 + 1i * omega * tau) and P_m_Br2
= P_s_Br2 ./ (1 + 1i * omega * tau) was applied in the simulation of the process network of each element
polarization.
