We have measured the average electric dipole polarizabilities of twenty alkali halide dimers, using a molecular beam electric deflection method. This is a continuation of the earlier measurements of five alkali halide dimers (R. Kremens {ital et} {ital al}., J. Chem. Phys. {bold 81}, 1676 (1984)). We compare our measurements with a simple combination of bond (via a spring'' model) and effective ionic polarizabilities, using literature values for the required molecular constants. Agreement between our measured and calculated values is reasonable, in most cases, considering the relative crudeness of the model.
