MCQ
Structure of ammonia is
- ATrigonal
- BTetrahedral
- ✓Trigonal pyramidal
- DPyramidal
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Trigonal pyramidal
c
By looking at the Lewis structure of an ammonia $\left( NH _3\right)$ 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.
