Question

explain the structure of amonia on the basis of vsepr theor​

Answer 1

Explanation:

the ammonia molecule has a trigonal pyramidal shape as predicted by the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) theory with an experimentally determined bond angle of 106.7°. the central nitrogen atom has 5 outer electrons with an additional electron from each hydrogen atom.

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal shape

Explanation:

The Lewis structure of ammonia is shown below as:

..

H : N : H

:

H

Number of bond pairs = 3

Number of lone pairs = 1

The formula is AB_3L.

According to VSEPR theory, ammonia has trigonal pyramidal shape to minimize the repulsions.
