Abstract
THIS book effectively completes Debye's “Polar Molecules” and Errera's “Polarisation Diélec-trique” by a detailed account of the subject in its relation to chemical constitution. Electrically polar molecules, its principal concern, have never been of so much importance in physics as the formally similar magnetic dipoles or as non-polar molecules, but the advent of thermionic valve methods for finding the dielectric constant opened up a wide field for their application in chemistry, development of which is due in no small degree to Prof. Smyth.
Dielectric Constant and Molecular Structure.
