molar refractivityPhysical Chemical nounA quantity calculated from a function of the refractive index of a substance multiplied by its molecular weight and divided by its density, which can be taken as a measure of the volume occupied by a molecule of the substance.- The function of the refractive index is now usually expressed as n 2 − 1/n 2 + 1, where n is the refractive index, so that the molar refractivity is n 2 − 1/n 2 + 1 × M/d.The concept originated with J. H. Gladstone and T. P. Dale in 1863, who introduced the quantity n − 1/d, calling it ‘specific refractive energy’ (Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 153 320)..
Origin 1920s; earliest use found in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. |
