Question

The ease with which the charge distribution in a molecule can be distorted by an external electrical field is called the __________.

A) electronegativity
B) hydrogen bonding
C) polarizability
D) volatility
E) viscosity

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is polarization. In a normal molecule the positive and negative charges are distributed in a way that it makes a continuous distribution with no net force. but when you apply an external electric force, the opposite charges go to the opposite ends of the molecule making them a polarized molecule.

This is called polarization.
