Abstract
The changes in energy resulting from deforming methane have been calculated. Tetrahedral geometry does not have the lowest electronic energy, but does have the smallest nuclear repulsion energy. The latter plays a major role in determining the changes in energy when methane is deformed. Some properties of small ring compounds are considered from the standpoint of bond angle deformation.
