Vibrations
Expected number of modes: 6
Degenerate modesː 2,3 and 5,6
Bending Vibrationsː 1,2,3
Bond Stretchesː 4,5,6
Highly Symmetric one is 4
The Umbrella on is 1
Expected number of bands in a spectrum is 4
Charge on N = -1.125
Charge on H = 0.375
The N is expected to have a negative charge and H is expected to have a positive charge. This is because N is more electronegative than H and hence the N pulls the electron pair in the bonds towards itself
Molecular orbitals
Highest occupied molecular orbital. It is a sigma anti bonding orbital (occupied). AOs that contribute are the 1s of H and 2p of N
Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. It is not clear what sort of MO it is and therefore which AOs are contributing.

Determination of energy of the reaction N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3
E(NH3)= -56.55776873 au 2*E(NH3)= -113.1155275 au E(N2)= -109.52412868 au E(H2)= -1.17853936 au 3*E(H2)= -3.53561808 au ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]= -0.05578074 au
ΔE=-146.452344026 kJ/mol (1au=2625.5002kJ/mol)
Since ΔE is negative the product is more stable than the gaseous reactants.

Molecular Orbitals
C-O, (occupied) sigma bonding orbital. These MOs are deep in energy. They make up the sigma bond between the atoms. The contributing AOs are the 2s orbitals of C and O. Due to the higher contribution of 2s from O, the MO is more rounded near O.
C-O, (occupied) sigma* anti bonding orbital. Contributing AOs are from 2s of C and O and the C AO contribute higher seen in picture. These MOs are deep in energy.
C-O (occupied) pi bonding orbital. 2p orbitals of the C and O are the contributing AOs. These MOs are deep in energy.
C-O pi* anti-bonding orbital which is also the highest occupied molecular orbital. The AOs are the p orbitals of C and O.
Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. It is very hard to see what the contributing AOs are.
