Abstract
The principal polarizabilities of a flexible paraffin hydrocarbon molecule may be calculated from the bond polarizabilities. The result will depend upon the average configuration of the molecule. The light scattering depolarization which is calculated from these polarizabilities may be compared with measured values. The comparison favors a configuration requiring preferential trans‐arrangements about carbon‐carbon single bonds.Keywords
