Question! Polarization of Matter

Homework Statement

Can you please help me in defining the Polarization of matters and its types? I have searched and found some information about it. But basically I didn't find the difference between its various types (Electronic, Ionic, Dipolar, Orientational, and Interfacial Polarization). Please can somebody explain this to me?

I didn't find their properties. I just found the types and a simple explanation how the polarization happens.

Thanks "berkeman" for your replay.
