   how many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule?
   6
   which modes are degenerate (ie have the same energy)?
   2and3,5and6
   which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations?
   bending:1,2,3;  stretch:4,5,6
   which mode is highly symmetric?
   4
   one mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this?
   1
   how many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia?
   4

charge on the N atom:-1.125 ;

charge on the H atom:0.375;

expect N:negative

expect H:positive

since N is more electro-negative than H

how many modes do you expect from the 3N-5 rule? 1

which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations? It is bonding stretch vibration

And it is symmetric

how many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous fluorine? 0.Because there is no change in transitional dipole moment.

F charge 0.000, since the two atoms are the same, so no electro-negativity difference.

molecular orbitals of F2

The 2σg orbital of F2 which contains 2 electrons.

The 2σu* orbital of F2, which is filled with 2 electrons. This cancels the 2σg orbital. Thus this does not contribute to the bonding.

This picture shows 1πu orbital of F2 which contains 2 electrons.

This picture shows 1πg* orbital of F2,this orbital cancels with 1πu orbital.Therefore it results that no bond formed.

The 3σg orbital filled with 2 electrons, and no electrons in the corresponding anti-bonding orbital. Therefore just a single bond formed in the F2 molecule.

Analysis of F-F bond

The literature value of F-F bond length is 1.42Å.[1] The value we have got from the gaussview is 1.40281Å. They are almost the same. But actually it should be longer than expected due to lone pair repulsion.
