the structure of NH3 can also be explain with the help of SP3 hybridization in any three the valence shell electronic configuration of nitrogen in the ground state is 2s^2.2p3. having three unpaired electron in SP3 hybrid orbitals and a long lone pairs of electron is present in the 4th one this three hybrid orbital overlap with one is orbital of hydrogen atoms to form the in 1 sigma bond we know that the force of repulsion between a lone pair and Bond pair is more than the force of repulsion between two Bond pairs of electrons so the angle is reduces to 107 degrees from 109.5 degree the geometry of the structure is bipyramidal
