Abstract
The Fermi‐Thomas statistical method is applied to the molecule ICl and the nonlinear boundary value problem solved by means of the relaxation method of Southwell. In this manner it is possible to construct an electron density map for ICl and to compute its diploe moment. The computed moment compares favorably in magnitude with the measured and has the correct sense. It appears as though the statistical method will be useful in estimating the senses of dipole moments when they are not clearly evident from experiment.Keywords
