Methylene Chloride

Methylene Chloride is a polyatomic molecule which consists of two chlorine atoms attached by single bonds to a methyl group.

DZV model of Methylene Chloride

The DZV model of Methylene Chloride is the optimal model for showing the geometry of Methylene Chloride.

Bond Lengths

Atoms	621-G	631-G	DZV
C to H	0.107 nm	0.107 nm	0.107 nm
C to Cl	0.185 nm	0.183 nm	0.183 nm


	Model of the HUMO orbitals of DZV Methylene Chloride

The HOMO orbitals are the highest highest energy molecular orbitals occupied by electrons. For methylene chloride the orbitals are non-bonding, this will help show how the molecule will react


	Model of the DZV LUMO orbitals for Methylene Chloride.

The LUMO orbitals are the lowest energy molecular orbitals occupied by electrons. For Methylene Chloride the LUMO orbitals are bonding, which will help determine how the molecule will react.


	Model of electrostatic potential for methylene chloride.

The electrostatic potential for methylene chloride is as expected, there is a large electron cloud around the chlorides. It is expected that there would be such a large electron cloud around the chloride because chlorides have such a large number of valence electrons.
