How many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule? = 6 modes of vibration.

Which modes are degenerate? = 2 and 3 are degenerate and 5 and 6 are degenerate.

Which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations? = 1,2,3 are bending and 4,5,6 are bond stretches.

Which mode is highly symmetric? = 4

Which mode is known as the "umbrella" mode? = 1

How many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia? = You would see two peaks in the spectrum , with the most intense vibration being the first. Vibrations 2 and 3 would show as a single peak due to these modes being degenerate. Vibrations 4,5 and 6 are negligible as a result of the noise in the experimental results.

Charge Distribution of NH3

Nitrogen has the higher electronegativity and therefore has the higher electron density. This will result in nitrogen having a negative charge and the hydrogens having the positive charges, which is confirmed by the charge distribution shown above.

What AO's contribute to the MO? = Two 2px AO's or two 2py AO's, one from each oxygen atom.

What effect does the MO have on bonding? = This MO has no contribution on the bonding between the two oxygen atoms.

Gauss View shows this MO as being filled with 2 electrons of opposite spin, therefore identifying it as the HOMO. However the 1π*g is made of two degenerate energy levels, therefore the two electrons are actually unpaired, making this MO the SOMO. As a result of this, oxygen is para magnetic.

Is the MO occupied or unoccupied? = Unoccupied.

Is the MO bonding or antibonding? = Anti bonding 1π*g, this MO is the LUMO

Charge Distribution of CF4

The fluorine's are more electronegative than the carbon, therefore will withdraw electron density from the carbon atom. As a result of this, the fluorine's will be negatively charged and the carbon will be positive, which is confirmed by the charge distribution shown above.
