Document Summary

The most stable charge distribution is where bonding electrons are delocalized and form a covalent bond between two atoms. Polarizability: measure of how easy it is to change charge distribution in a system. The magnitude of the polarizability in atomic and molecular systems can be expected to depend on the number of electrons and the volume that those electrons occupy. Atomic and molecular polarizability increases with the number of electrons present in the system and with the size of the space they occupy. The larger the size of the particle, the weaker the interactions of the more external electrons with protons in the nuclei. Molecules with a large surface area are more polarizable than those with more spherical shapes. Dispersion forces: when two atoms or molecules interact they form induced-dipole moments which results in a net force between particles that may be attractive or repulsive depending on the distance between them.
