Molecular models developed to account for the dielectric properties of the polarizable metal/solution interface are reviewed. Experimental data obtained for both aqueous and non‐aqueous systems in the absence of specific adsorption are examined within the context of these models. It is concluded that a relatively simple model can describe the properties of the inner layer in aprotic solvents where intermolecular forces can be described on the basis of permanent and induced dipole—dipole interactions.
