Question
Explain the structure of ammonia.
✓
Answer
Ammonia molecule is pyramidal in shape N – H bond distance is 1.016 A and H – H bond distance is 1.645 A with a bond angle 107°. The structure of ammonia may be regarded as a tetrahedral with one lone pair of electrons in one tetrahedral position hence it has a pyramidal shape as shown in the figure.
