The relative static permittivity of a solvent is a relative measure of its chemical polarity. For example, water is very polar, and has a relative static permittivity of 80.10 at 20 °C while n-hexane is non-polar, and has a relative static permittivity of 1.89 at 20 °C. [26]
In electromagnetism, the Clausius–Mossotti relation, named for O. F. Mossotti and Rudolf Clausius, expresses the dielectric constant (relative permittivity, ε r) of a material in terms of the atomic polarizability, α, of the material's constituent atoms and/or molecules, or a homogeneous mixture thereof.

Another common term encountered for both absolute and relative permittivity is the dielectric constant which has been deprecated in physics and engineering [3] as well as in chemistry. [ 4 ] By definition, a perfect vacuum has a relative permittivity of exactly 1 whereas at standard temperature and pressure , air has a relative permittivity of ...
where ε 0 is the electric constant, ε r the relative static permittivity, and P is the polarization density. Substituting this form for D in the expression for displacement current, it has two components:
where R is the molar refractivity, is the Avogadro constant, is the electronic polarizability, p is the density of molecules, M is the molar mass, and = / is the material's relative permittivity or dielectric constant (or in optics, the square of the refractive index).
The real (blue solid line) and imaginary (orange dashed line) components of relative permittivity are plotted for model with parameters = 3.2 eV, = 4.5 eV, = 100 eV, = 1 eV, and = 3.5. The Tauc–Lorentz model is a mathematical formula for the frequency dependence of the complex-valued relative permittivity , sometimes referred to as the ...
Vacuum permittivity, commonly denoted ε 0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum. It may also be referred to as the permittivity of free space , the electric constant , or the distributed capacitance of the vacuum.
