4. The dipole is a model of the charge distribution on the molecule, and it is thus an approximate description of the charge distribution.

5. The polarizability is the linear proportionality constant in a model of how easily a dipole is “induced” when the molecule is placed in an electric field.

6. We qualify this criterion for the ...
