The finite-field scalar relativistic coupled cluster and configuration
interaction, as well as the spin-orbit configuration interaction,
methods are employed to calculate the static dipole polarizabilities for the
lowest (6s2) 1S, (6s6p) 
Po and (6s5d) D excited
states of atomic ytterbium. The results agree very well with existing
experimental and best
theoretical data and refine the set of ytterbium polarizabilities known so
far. Similar techniques are used to calculate the electric quadrupole moments
for the Po and D states.
