lab marking
You have a good working wiki. It would be good if you report values of wavenumber in your answers. Overall a very good attempt. If you have any specific questions, do email Prof. Hunt

- The 3N-6 rule gives us an expected 6 vibrations (3 × 4 - 6 = 6).
- There are only 4 peaks on the IR spectrum because two of the vibrational modes have a negligible change in dipole moment, so they are not visible via IR spectroscopy.
- Vibrational mode 3 represents the asymmetric N-F stretching vibration.
- The highest energy mode is the N=N stretching vibration.
Charge distribution
cis-N2F2 has a charge separation driven by the high electronegativity of the fluorine atoms.
| Atom | N | F |
| Charge (e) | +0.22 | -0.22 |
Molecular orbital analysis
- MOs 1-4 correspond to the core orbitals of the atoms.
Molecular Orbital 9
The 9th molecular orbital of cis-N2F2 can be represented as the in-phase addition of the pz orbitals on the N and F atoms.

NH3-BH3 association energy
The energies of NH3BH3 and its substituent fragments are as follows:
| Molecule | E (AU) |
| NH3 | -56.55777 |
| BH3 | -26.61532 |
| NH3BH3 | -83.22469 |
From this, we find the association energy: ΔE = E(NH3BH3) - E(NH3) - E(BH3) = -0.05160 AU = -135kJ/mol
