There are no negative frequencies.
how many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule? 6 which modes are degenerate (ie have the same energy)? 2 and 3, 5 and 6 which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations? Bending:1,2,3 Stretching:4,5,6 which mode is highly symmetric? 4 one mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this? 4 how many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia? 4
Charge on the Nitrogen= -1.125 Charge on the Hydrogens= 0.375
This is expected as nitrogen is very electronegative and so would have a negative value and hydrogen would be positive.

F2 Molecular Orbitals
MO1 is a bonding orbital with electrons from the 2s orbital on each F, however due to a σ* from the 2s orbital in each F, it does not contribute to bonding overall. MO2 is a σ* orbital from the 2s orbital in each F, it is higher in energy than the MO1 but lower than MO3, MO4 and MO5. MO1 is the deepest in energy out of the 5 MO's shown above. MO3 is a σ orbital with electrons from a 2p orbital on each fluorine, it contributes to bonding as there is not a σ* from the 2p orbital negate it. MO4 and MO5 are both π orbitals with electrons from a 2p orbital on each fluorine. They do not contribute to bonding due to there being 2 π* MO's.
