- NH₂⁻ is V shaped or bent shaped.
- NH₂⁻ ion has a total of 8 valence electrons.
- 2 pairs are bonding and 2 are non-bonding electrons and stay confined to the Nitrogen atom.
- The overall shape would be bent (angular) with 104.5 degree bond angles due to strong lone pair-bonding pair repulsion that pushes the 2 bonding pairs closer together than they would like.
It has a hybridization of sp3 and it contains 2 lone pairs. So due to the repulsion between the two lone pairs this acquire a shape of V.
