What is the bond angle in ammonia molecule?
  • A
    106.5°
  • B
    107°
  • C
    108°
  • D
    109.5°

Answer

  1. 107°

Explanation:

The bond angle for a standard tetrahedral geometry is 109.5°. But the ammonia molecule contains a lone electron pair on nitrogen.

As it is closer to the N atom than the other orbitals, it creates a repulsive effect and pushes the Hydrogen atoms close to each other, thus reducing the bond angle to 107°.
