Two polarizable atoms $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ are a fixed distance apart. The polarizability of cach atom is $\alpha$. Consider the following intriguing possibility. Atom A is polarized by an electric field, the source of which is the clectric dipole moment $\mathbf{p}$ of atom $\mathrm{B}$. This dipole moment is induced in atom $\mathrm{B}$ by an electric field, the source of which is the dipole moment of atom A. Can this happen? If so, under what conditions? If not, why not?
(a) For cach of the three types of polarization, briefly describe the mechanism by which dipoles are induced and/or oriented by the action of an applied electric field. (b) For gaseous argon, solid LiF, liquid $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ and solid Si, what kind(s) of polarization is (are) possible? Why?
a) what is meant by the term polarizability? (b) Which of the following atoms would you expect to be most polarizable: O, S, Se, or Te? Explain.
