Abstract

The potential function $V = Σ a l l b o n d s k i (d i − D i 0) 2 + Σ a l l a n g l e s k a (a j − A j 0) 2$ , where $D i 0$ and $A j 0$ are the ""Strain free"" values of bond length and bond angle respectively, has been extended to $N H 3$ -type molecules. Improved mathematics are described. Sufficient equations exist to determine all 6 parameters. Results in part support the conclusions made on $H 2 O$ -type molecules. There appears to be a ""preferred"" strain free bond angle.
