Isodensity Surface for HOCl




The isodensity surface is the collection of points in space where the total electron density is 0.002 electrons/volume. The surface encloses the region in which there is at least a 98% probability of finding all of the electrons.














Electrostatic Potentials Mapped on the Isodensity Surface for HOClO





The electrostatic potential is the energy associated with the interaction of a point charge with the nuclei and electrons in the molecule. High positive electrostatic potentials, represented in blue, indicate regions that are very electron-poor. High negative potentials, represented in red, denote regions that are highly electron-rich.
