WHAT DOES DEBYE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Debye

The debye (symbol: D) is a CGS unit (a non-SI metric unit) of electric dipole moment named in honour of the physicist Peter J. W. Debye. It is defined as 1×10−18 statcoulomb-centimetre. Historically the debye was defined as the dipole moment resulting from two charges of opposite sign but an equal magnitude of 10-10 statcoulomb (generally called e.s.u. (electrostatic unit) in older literature), which were separated by 1 ångström. This gave a convenient unit for molecular dipole moments. 1 D = 10-18 statC·cm = 10-10 esu·Å = 1⁄299,792,458×10−21 C·m ≈ 3.33564×10−30 C·m ≈ 1.10048498×1023 qPlP ≈ 0.393430307 ea0 ≈ 0.20819434 eÅ Typical dipole moments for simple diatomic molecules are in the range of 0 to 11 D. Symmetric homoatomic species, e.g. chlorine, Cl2, have zero dipole moment and highly ionic molecular species have a very large dipole moment, e.g. gas phase potassium bromide, KBr, with a dipole moment of 10.5 D. The debye is still used in atomic physics and chemistry because SI units are inconveniently large.

Definition of Debye in the English dictionary

The definition of Debye in the dictionary is Peter Joseph Wilhelm. 1884–1966, Dutch chemist and physicist, working in the US: Nobel prize for chemistry for his work on dipole moments.
