Molecular Structure Lab

Objective:
For this experiment we took two different molecule and virtually dissected them finding everything about them including: bond length, bond angles, the charge on each atom, the non bonded distances between atoms and the energy difference between the highest and lowest molecular orbital.
Procedure:
The procedure is to use HyperChem Lite to get the information needed from each molecule. But explained in full on page 16 and 17 in the lab manual.
Data:
The following data was found about CH4 (methane).
• The bond length from Carbon to all four Hydrogen atom was the same measurement that came to be about 1.113Å
• Not only are the lengths between all the Hydrogen atoms to the Carbon atoms the same so are the angles between the hydrogen atoms, all coming out to be about 109.47°.
• The non-bonded distances between all the parts of the molecule are 1.818Å.
• The charge on the Carbon atom is -.143
• All of the hydrogen atoms have the......
