Abstract
An equation for the molar polarization of substances that allows electron polarizability of molecules in various states of aggregation (gaseous, liquid, and solid) to be determined is obtained. The Lorenz-Lorentz equation in the traditional form is shown to be inapplicable in principle to calculations of the electron polarizability of molecules in dense media.
