Polarizability. Polarizability usually refers to the tendency of matter, when subjected to an electric field, to acquire an electric dipole moment in proportion to that applied field. It is a property of particles with an electric charge. When subject to an electric field, the negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei ...
Since the late 1960s, psychologists have carried out a number of studies on various aspects of attitude polarization. In 1979, Charles Lord, Lee Ross and Mark Lepper [9] performed a study in which they selected two groups of people, one group strongly in favor of capital punishment, the other strongly opposed. The researchers initially measured ...
Political polarization is a prominent component of politics in the United States. [1] Scholars distinguish between ideological polarization (differences between the policy positions) and affective polarization (a dislike and distrust of political out-groups), both of which are apparent in the United States. [2][3][4] In the last few decades ...
GREENSBORO, N.C./WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) - Dressed in her school's signature blue and gold colors, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University student Nia Heaston strolled around ...
Political polarization (spelled polarisation in British English, African and Caribbean English, and New Zealand English) is the divergence of political attitudes away from the center, towards ideological extremes.
Social polarization. Social polarization is the segregation within a society that emerges when factors such as income inequality, real-estate fluctuations and economic displacement result in the differentiation of social groups from high-income to low-income. It is a state and/or a tendency denoting the growth of groups at the extremities of ...
Noble gas configuration of the cation produces better shielding and less polarizing power e.g. Hg 2+ (r+ = 102 pm) is more polarizing than Ca 2+ (r+ = 100 pm) The "size" of the charge in an ionic bond depends on the number of electrons transferred. An aluminum atom, for example, with a +3 charge has a relatively large positive charge.
A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. [1][2][3][4] It can filter a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam of well-defined polarization, known as polarized light.
