Alcohols show quantum effects – Tech Explorist

Molecular liquids, such as water or alcohols, are known to be polar. The polarity is the result of the charge separation mechanism.
The fundamental definition of polarization relies on a century-old concept: the dielectric polarization is connected to the molecular dipole moment due to their hydroxyl functional group (-OH).
Orientations of these dipoles would explain the high polarizability of alcohols and the corresponding high dielectric constant. Still, the discrepancy between the measured dielectric…
