  • -0.0557907 × 2625.5 = -146.48 KJmol-1 (2.d.p)
  • 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.
  • Literature Value: 92.38 KJmol-1 (2.d.p)[1]
  • The is a difference between the literature value and the value obtained from GaussView.

Second MO of PH5

What AOs contribute to the MO?
  • Only AO from Phosphorus contribute to the MO.
  • 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.

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 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.
