Abstract
General statistical mechanical equations are derived for the polarization, Clausius‐Mossotti function, dielectric constant and electrostriction of an imperfect gas. Results are given in the form of series expansions which are closely related to the conventional virial expansion of a gas. The coefficients in the expansions for the polarization, etc., can be evaluated by a consideration of sets of only two, three, etc., molecules in the presence of the external electric field. A similar treatment of a binary solution is also included.
