Expected Modes:6
Degenerate Modes:2/3 and 5/6
Bending Modes:1/2/3
Stretching Modes:4/5/6
Highly Symmetric Modes:4
Umbrella Mode:1
Number of Bands in Experimental Spectrum:2 (1, 2/3)
Only asymmetric stretches involve a change in dipole moment, so show up on the spectrum. 
2 and 3 are degenerate so only result in one peak.
4 is symmetric and doesn't have a change in dipole moment so no peak is seen. 
And, 5/6 have signals with a very weak intensity so are indistinguishable from noise.

Expected:Negative charge on N and positive charge on H
Charge on N:-1.125
Charge on H:0.375

Haber-Bosch process

N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
 
 E(NH3)=-56.55776873 au
 2*E(NH3)=-113.11553750 au
 E(N2)=-109.52412868 au
 E(H2)=-1.17893936 au
 3*E(H2)=-3.53681808 au
 ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]=-0.05579070 au
                             ΔH=-146.47848290 KJ/mol

Literature Value:ΔH=-45.7KJ/mol [1]

  1. Modak JM. Haber process for ammonia synthesis. Resonance. 2011 Dec 1;16(12):1159-67..
For the standard enthalpy change of reaction, to form one mole of ammonia. 
To form two moles, the ΔH=-91.4KJ/mol. 
The value calculated using computational methods was -146.47848290 KJ/mol, 
this is relatively close to the experimental value.
Ammonia product is more stable as the reaction is exothermic.

Molecular Orbitals

Caused by overlap of the 2s orbitals on the two F atoms. The orbitals are in phase, therefore the MO is bonding. Caused by overlap of the 2s orbitals on the two F atoms. The orbitals are out of phase, therefore the MO is anti-bonding. Caused by overlapping 2p orbitals on the two F atoms. These orbitals lie along the axis of the of the bond and are in phase. Therefore, the MO is a sigma bond. Caused by overlapping 2p orbitals on the two F atoms. These orbitals are per perpendicular to the bond axis and are in phase. Therefore, the MO is a pi bond. Caused by overlapping 2p orbitals on the two F atoms. These orbitals are per perpendicular to the bond axis and are out of phase. Therefore, the MO is a pi*. This is the HOMO, the LUMO is the 3 sigma*.

The overall bond order is 1, as there is a single sigma bond.
