	The optimized geometry for Carbon Dioxide at the DZV level. The molecule has a linear conformation; thus the bond angle for this molecule is 180 degrees.

Below is a table of the bond length of carbon dioxide at the different levels of theory used as well as the accepted value:

Level of Theory	Bond length in Angstroms
AM1	1.2
PM3	1.2
6-21G	1.2
6-31G	1.16
DZV	1.16
Literature	1.16

Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital

Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital


	The electrostatic potential of carbon dioxide. This molecule has partial negative charges on the oxygens and a partial positive charge on the carbon; this causes the molecule to have a net dipole of zero.
