Questions about vibration frequencies

ammonia vibration screenshot

6 nodes are expected from the 3N-6 formula.

4 nodes are degenerate (2 pairs).

3 of them are bending and 3 of them are stretching.

The nodes at frequency 1089.54 cm-1 and 3461.29 cm-1 are highly symmetric.

The node at frequency 1089.54 cm-1 is the 'umbrella' node.

4 bands are expected from a spectrum.

The Haber-Bosch process

E(NH3) = -56.55776873 a.u.

2*E(NH3) = -113.1155375 a.u.

E(N2) = -109.52412868 a.u.

E(H2) = -1.17853936 a.u.

3*E(H2) = -3.53561808 a.u.

ΔE = 2*E(NH3)-E(N2)- 3*E(H2) = -0.05579574 a.u.

ΔE = -146.49 kJ/mol

Ammonia is favored in this reaction.

Dipole moments (charges)

This molecule is not charged.

This molecule has no dipole moments.

Molecular orbitals

This is the sigma g bonding orbital formed by the constructive (in phase) interaction of the 2 2s AOs. It's occupied and very deep in energy.

This is the sigma u anti-bonding orbital formed by the destructive (out of phase) interaction of the 2 2s AOs. It's occupied and very deep in energy.

This is the sigma g bonding orbital formed by the constructive interaction (end to end overlap) of the 2 2pz AOs. It's occupied and deep in energy. This is the only bonding orbital that is not offset by its corresponding anti-bonding orbital, giving the molecule an overall bond order of 1.

This is the sigma u anti-bonding orbital formed by the destructive interaction of the 2 2pz AOs. It's unoccupied and is the LUMO of the molecule.

This is the pi u bonding orbital formed by the constructive interaction (side by side overlap) of the 2 2px AOs. It's occupied and deep in energy (higher in energy than the sigma bonding orbitals).
