Abstract
The mean static dipole polarisability of scandium is calculated. Perturbation theory was used so that the polarisability is expressed in terms of the second-order energy correction. The ground-state and necessary first-order correction to the wavefunction were determined variationally as a superposition of configurations. The importance of the various polarising orbitals and the length of the configuration expansion are examined.
