Draw the Lewis structure of NH4 (ammonia ) and explain the shape of ammonia molecule with the help of VSEPR - Chemistry - Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Question

Draw the Lewis structure of NH4 (ammonia ) and explain the shape of
ammonia molecule with the help of VSEPR theory

Divyanshu Singh · Answer

Ammonia has 8 electrons around the central
nitrogenatom This means there are four electron pairs
arranged in a tetrahedral shape There are three bonding
pairs and one lone pair The resulting shapeis a trigonal
pyramid with an H-N-H angle of 106 7°
