NH3

test molecule

The optimisation is linked to the file: here

bond length and angle

N-H bond length is 1.01798 Angstroms. H-N-H bond angle is 105.741 degrees.

bond charge

The charge on the N-atom is -1.125c and the charge on the H-atom is 0.375c. Because the the electronegativity of nitrogen is larger than hydrogen.

How many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule?

Six modes.

which modes are degenerate (ie have the same energy)?

Mode 2 and mode 3 are degenerated with frequency of 1693.95cm-1. Mode 5 and mode 6 are degenerated with frequency of 3589.82cm-1.

which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations?

Mode 1, 2 and 3 are bending vibrations and mode 4,5 and 6 are bond stretching vibrations.

which mode is highly symmetric?

Mode 4.

one mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this?

Mode 1.

how many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia?

Because of the degenerated intensity of mode 2 and 3, there will be just two peaks in the spectrum. The intensities of the stretching modes are too small because the changes of dipole moment are small.

H2

bond length and charge

H-H bond length is 0.74309 Angstroms. 

The charge on hydrogen atom is zero because this molecule consists of two same atoms.

Haber-Bosch process

E(NH3)= -56.55776873 au

2*E(NH3)= -113.1155375 au

E(N2)= -109.52416848 au

E(H2)= -1.17853936 au

3*E(H2)= -3.53561808 au

ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]= -0.05575094 au = -146.713 kJ/mol

Since the energy converting hydrogen and nitrogen gas into ammonia gas is negative(exothermic), the ammonia is more stable.
