There are less than 6 peaks because there are 2 pairs of vibrations with the values in each pair having similar wavenumber values. The result is that on the spectra, the peaks one would expect for these pairs superposition and result in there being only 2 peaks. The remaining 2 vibrations result on only 1 peak as one is not IR active (namely that at wavenumber of 2582.32cm<sup>-1</sup>) - this results in it not producing a peak - leading to a total of 3 peaks.

Good identification of both reasons which lead to only 3 visible peaks. To improve, you can use the word 'degenerate' to describe ones which occur at the same freqeuncy. The symmetries in your table are also slightly wrong and not that both IR intensities and vibrational frequencies should be left as the nearest whole number.

'''Occupied/Unoccupied Orbital Comparison'''

[[File:TYOEMBER BH3 MO Diag COMPA.png|none|thumb|BH<sub>3</sub> MO Diagram (Initial drawn MO Diagram Source:Lecture 4 Tutorial Worksheet)]]

'''Are there any significant differences between the real and LCAO MOs?'''

• For the 2nd lowest energy occupied orbital, which encapsulates the whole molecule, the encapsulation is far better represented in the GaussView Generated MO orbital compared to the LCAO version.

'''What does this say about the accuracy and usefulness of qualitative MO theory?'''

• It shows that Qualitative MO theory does fall short of delivering a more complete picture of the shapes of orbitals. However practically speaking the representation is still very useful for constructing a rough picture of the arrangement of the MOs.

Good inclusion of the calculated MOs on to the MO diagram, however, you have also included the core orbital labelled as the 1a1' one too while it should have not appeared on the diagram because it is too low in energy. Good attempt at trying to highlight the similarities and differences. To improve you could have been clearer and used more technical language, your comment is also incorrect I think as you are discussing the core orbital?

Correct energy calculation above. It is a shame that the structure information for NH<sub>3</sub> and NH<sub>3</sub>BH<sub>3</sub> are missing as you had obviously done the calculations and the report is obviously unfinished.
