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?
1-3 is bending; 4-6 is stretching.
Which mode is highly symmetric?
Highly Symmetric Bending mode: 1;
Highly Symmetric Stretching mode: 4.
One mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this?

How many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia?
2 (4, 5, and 6 are too low in intensity to be seen).
A Gaussview image of an optimised Ammonia molecule.
For a spectrum to be seen, a dipole must exist within the molecule. The larger the dipole, the higher the frequency.

A Gaussview image of an optimised Hydrogen molecule.
Product (ammonia) is thermodynamically more stable than reactants (hydrogen and nitrogen) because energy is released from the reaction (Negative ΔH), meaning the bonds broken in the reactants are weaker (less stable) than the bonds formed in the products.
The is a difference between the literature value and the value obtained from GaussView.

Questions regarding vibration of PH5.
How many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule?
12.
Which modes are degenerate (ie have the same energy)?
1 and 2; 4 and 5; 6 and 7; 11 and 12.
Which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations?
1-7 is bending; 8-12 is stretching.
Which mode is highly symmetric?
Highly Symmetric Stretching mode: 8 and 10.
How many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous PH5?
Strong 2s orbital contribution from the phosphorus AO only. Little to no contributions from 1s AO of hydrogen because the energy differences between the 1s orbital of hydrogen and 2s orbital of phosphorus is too large.
Is the MO bonding, antibonding or a mixture.
MO is non-bonding.
Is the MO deep in energy, in the HOMO/LUMO region or high in energy?
MO is deep in energy.
Is the MO occupied or unoccupied? What effect will your MOs have on bonding?
MO is occupied.
MOs have little to no effect on bonding.
Fifth MO of PH5
What AOs contribute to the MO?
Only AO from Phosphorus contribute to the MO.
Strong 2pz orbital contribution from the phosphorus AO only. Little to no contributions from 1s AO of hydrogen because the energy differences between the 1s orbital of hydrogen and 2pz orbital of phosphorus is too large.
Is the MO bonding, antibonding or a mixture.
MO is non-bonding.
Is the MO deep in energy, in the HOMO/LUMO region or high in energy?
MO is deep in energy.
Is the MO occupied or unoccupied? What effect will your MOs have on bonding?
MO is occupied.
MOs have little to no effect on bonding.
Sixth MO of PH5
What AOs contribute to the MO?
Both AOs from Phosphorus and Hydrogen contribute to the MO.
Mainly 3s and 2s AO of Phosphorus and 1s AO of Hydrogen and the final MO is formed by the partial positive contribution of the AOs.

MO is bonding.
Is the MO deep in energy, in the HOMO/LUMO region or high in energy?
MO low in energy.
Is the MO occupied or unoccupied? What effect will your MOs have on bonding?
MO is occupied.
MOs are bonding, which implies extra stability, so molecule is not reactive.
Ninth MO of PH5
What AOs contribute to the MO?
Both AOs from Phosphorus and Hydrogen contribute to the MO.
