Abstract
SCF—xα—SW calculations have been performed for the electronic structure of methane, ethane, propane, isobutane and neopentane. The touching and overlapping sphere models with different degrees of overlap were used. The charge distributions were partitioned into atomic charges by means of a modified overlapping sphere model. These charges which indicate a C +H − polarity reflect closely the customary inductive effects and are unique in that they represent the only set of theoretically determined charges which can be related directly to experiment.
