Difluoroamine
The models presented are built using the best ab initio level of theory.  The highest level of theory which is the large DVZ basis set of the molecule.

Table 1: Bond lengths of NHF2 in each basis.
Basis Type Bond Length Measurments (pm)
Bonds (pm) 6-21G 6-31G DVZ
N1-F2 140.3 142.6 140.3
N1-F3 140.3 142.6 140.3
N1-H4 100.7 101.5 100.7

The bond lengths vary from basis to basis which provides an example of the differences in each basis.  Therefore, it is important to do calculations progressing from basis to basis.  The following present configurations in the three basis used displaying the minor differences. The literature values for N1-F2, N1-F3, N1-H4 are 1.3528, 1.3528, 1.024 respectively.1

Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital
  LUMO is the lowest unoccupied orbital a molecule can have.  The orbital configuration is presented here.
Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital
The HOMO orbital is the highest energy molecular orbital occupied by electrons.   From the model, it can be predicted how a molecule will react. The orbital configuration is presented here.
Electrostatic Potential
Red denotes regions of relative negative potential and blue regions of relative positive potential.
