This chapter describes the calculation of the different electric
properties which have been implemented in the DALTON program system.
These include the dipole moment , the quadrupole
moment , the nuclear quadrupole
interactions , and the static and frequency dependent
polarizability . Note that a number of electric
properties may be
obtained by use of the RESPONSE program if they can be expressed as a
linear, quadratic or cubic response function. For the non-linear
electric properties we refer to the chapter ``Getting the property you
want'' (Chapter ).
