We report absolute elastic differential, integral, and momentum transfer cross sections for electron interactions with the series of molecules CH(3)X (X=F, Cl, Br, I). The incident electron energy range is 50-200 eV, while the scattered electron angular range for the differential measurements is 15 degrees-150 degrees. In all cases the absolute scale of the differential cross sections was set using the relative flow method with helium as the reference species. Substitution effects on these cross sections, as we progress along the halomethane series CH(3)F, CH(3)Cl, CH(3)Br, and CH(3)I, are investigated as a part of this study. In addition, atomic-like behavior in these scattering systems is also considered by comparing these halomethane elastic cross sections to results from other workers for the corresponding noble gases Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe, respectively. Finally we report results for calculations of elastic differential and integral cross sections for electrons scattering from each of the CH(3)X species, within an optical potential method and assuming a screened corrected independent atom representation. The level of agreement between these calculations and our measurements was found to be quite remarkable in each case.
