This figures shows the HOMO, if parts are hard to see, clicking 3D will allow the manipulation of the molecule.

With the oxygen atom having eight electrons, each carbon holding six and the hydrogens holding one,  the total amount of molecular orbitals holding electrons is 28. To the left is the 28th orbital (HOMO) and its configuration. The color change depicts the change in sign of the orbitals.
 
Jmol2 will appear here.

This figure shows the LUMO. Clicking the figure will allows its manipulation.

With benzaldehyde holding 28 orbitals with electrons, the 29th orbital is considered the LUMO due to no electrons occupying the orbital.  To the right is the configuration of the LUMO.
 
Jmol3 will appear here.

The electrostatic potential for the molecule is pictured above.

The figure to the left shows the electrostatic potential of each of the atoms in the molecule.The red shading symbolizes that there is a high electron density while the blue shows a low density. With oxygen being more electronegative, this result was predicted with more electrons being drawn to the oxygen side of the molecule. Because of the aromatic ring, there is a slightly lower electron density focused on the center of the ring, with each of the hydrogens not having much density surrounding them.
 
Jmol4 will appear here.

Pictured is the partial atomic charges for the molecule.

Partial atomic charges are similar to the electrostatic potential with showing that the more electronegative atom in the molecule will draw more electrons to it making it have a more partial negative charge. In this case, oxygen is more negative while carbon bonded to it is partially positive. The carbons in the aromatic ring furthest away from the oxygen have a negative charge while as the carbons closer to the oxygen, they get progressively more positive.
