Question

Discuss the shape of nh3 or h2o on the basis of hybridization

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hybridization of NH₃ is sp³ and the shape of NH₃ is pyramidal.  bond angle of NH₃ is 107°

hybridization of H₂O is sp³ and the shape is V-shaped .bond angle of H₂O is 104.5° or 105°

 

The hybridization of central atom of both compound is sp³ but the shape is not tetrahedral due to the presence of lone pair, there is repulsion between bonds due to which the bond angle decreases from 109'28'' or 109.5°.
