Vibrations of ammonia
Vibrations of ammonia

6 vibrational modes are to be expected from 3N-6 rule. There are two pairs of vibrational modes that are degenerate, namely 2 and 3, and 5 and 6. 1-3 are bending modes, while 4-6 are stretching modes. Vibrational mode number 4 is highly symmetric. Number 1 is also known as umbrella mode. In the spectrum there would probably be 4 bands, but the ones corresponding to bond stretches would be much less distinct.

Charge distribution is -1.125 for N atom and 0.375 for H atoms. Nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen, which means that such charges are to be expected.

Energetic balance of formation of ammonia

E(NH3)=-56.55776873 a.u.

2*E(NH3)=-113.11553746 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)]=-0.05579070 a.u.

This means that the reaction enthalpy is ΔH=-146.48 kJ/mol. This is implying that ammonia gas is more stable than hydrogen and nitrogen gas on their own.

Molecular orbitals in water molecule

All the molecular orbitals are shown from the same perspective and at the same size. They are shown in increasing order of energy

Table 10: Molecular orbitals
Image Name Description
1a1 Non-bonding orbital of oxygen made from its 1s orbital, extremely low in energy and fully occupied. This orbital virtually does not contribute to bonding.
2a1 Bonding orbital made from 2s orbital of oxygen and bonding combination of 1s orbitals of hydrogens. It is still low in energy, but much less so than the previous one. It is fully occupied. It is very important for bonding of the molecule.
1b2 Mixed orbital made from 2p orbitals of oxygen and antibonding combination of 1s orbitals of hydrogens. It is low in energy and fully occupied. It is important for the bonding of the molecule.
3a1 Mixed orbital made from 2s and 2p orbitals of oxygen and bonding combination of 1s orbitals of hydrogens. It is close to HOMO in energy (but lower) and fully occupied. It is important for the bonding of the molecule.
1b1 Non-bonding orbital of oxygen made from its 2p orbital. This orbital is HOMO and is fully occupied. It does not contribute to bonding much.
4a1 Mixed orbital made as antibonding combination of 2s and 2p orbitals of oxygen and bonding combination of 1s orbitals of hydrogen. It is LUMO and is not occupied.
2b2 Antibonding orbital made from 2p orbitals of oxygen and antibonding combination of 1s orbitals of hydrogen. It is just above LUMO in energy and is not occupied.
3b2 This is the first molecular orbital not made from the aforementioned orbitals.
