Mean Molecular polarizabilities, polarizability anisotropies and order
parameters are evaluated in members of three homologous series, using
tyro theoretical models. The variation of polarizabilities and their
anisotropies with number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain is studied
. The temperature dependence of order parameter is also presented. The
results are compared with the reported values and the merits of the d
ifferent models are discussed.
