A Novel Approach to the Investigation of Molecular Polarization Using MATLAB Application
Abstract: Molecular polarization involves the separation of electric charge in a molecule due to the result of aninduced external field leading to a dipole having a positive charge on one side and the negative charge atthe other end. This helps us to know the characteristics of molecules and how they react with others. It isalso helpful to know their physical and chemical properties. Molecular polarization also includes itsintermolecular forces, dielectric behavior …
