In Gaussian program, I calculated formaldehyde using "opt+frq".
In the results, I can see the bond length and so on, except bond angles.
How can I see the bond angles in that program?
Thank you for your answer.

You need a graphical user interfase (GUI) to see Gaussian results, such as geometrical parameters. There are several GUIs in web:
For instance:
Gabedit
Chemcraft
Avogadro
There are many softwares for visualizing a chemcial structure. But the bond angle and bond lengths can be visualized by using gaussian user interface (GUI) itself. You can check the bond angle by slecting (by clicking) on the atoms (three atoms) whose bond angle you want to see.
Selecting two atoms will give you the bond distance between selected atoms and selecting three atoms will give you the bond angle between them.
Hope this helps!

Hey,
Use freewares such as "Avagadro" or " Gabedit" with the instructions said by Megha Sharma.
