Formaldehyde HOMO based on DZV basis set.

Shown here is the HOMO which is the highest occupied orbital. The orbitals were found by calculated by summing up the amount of electrons in the molecule and dividing by 2.

Formaldehyde LUMO based on DZV basis set.

Shown here is the LUMO which is the lowest unoccupied orbital. This orbital would become occupied if the molecule became excited from an outside source of energy.
