Question

explain shapes of NH3 and H2O using VSEPR theory​

Answer 1

With the help of VSEPR theory, explain the shape of: (i) NH3 (ii) H2O. ... Therefore three N–H bonds of NH3 are forced slightly closer. This leads to decrease in H – N – H bond angles from a normal angle of a tetrahedron (109.5°) to 107°. The most favourable arrangement is distorted tetrahedral i.e. pyramidal.
