Abstract
Polarizability is a property of molecules that has long been of interest to scientists from a variety of viewpoints. However, in the area of the QSAR of chemical-biological interactions, it has received little attention. Recently we have shown that one can use the simple summation of the valence electrons (H = 1, C = 4, O = 6, etc.) in a molecule as a measure of its polarizability. We have found this parameter to correlate nerve toxicity of a wide variety of chemicals acting on nerves of frogs, rabbits, cockroaches, and humans.
