The values of the Steric Energies of Propyl Chloride that were calculated
before the minimization of the energy were all greater than the values
after the minimization. Stretch and Bend values were greatly reduced
after the minimization, but the other values were fairley similar as before.
As far as the Angle measurements, the C(1), C(2), C(3) Angle changed
almost 1.3 °. The pictuer bellow was originally made in SciFinderScholar.
