Answer 2

Answer:

shape only depends on the no. of bond pair electrons.

Explanation:

By looking at the Lewis structure of an ammonia (NH3) molecule, shape of an ammonia molecule is described by trigonal pyramidal structure. The N atom in ammonia is sp 3

  hybridized as it has one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs of electrons. This results in tetrahedral electron pair geometry and Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
