[en] Motivated by the previous observation [Kato et al., J. Chem. Phys. 132, 074309 (2010)] that the structure seen in the elastic electron scattering cross sections from CH₃X (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) molecules at intermediate energies (50 - 200 eV) is also found, at least in part, in the corresponding noble gas species, we measured differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of electrons from CH₃Cl at the low incident electron energies of 5, 10, and 20 eV for scattering angles from 20 .deg. up to 180 .deg. . We confirmed that, as we went to lower electron energies, the 'atomic-like' behavior faded out, and the 'molecular-like' behavior became increasingly prominent.
