Question
What is the geometry of ammonia molecule?
✓
Answer
The nitrogen atom of ammonia undergoes hybridisation to form $4 sp^3$ orbitals. Three of these overlap with s orbital of $H$ forming three $N-H$ bonds.
This results in a pyramidal geometry with $N$ atom at the apex and three H atoms at the corners of a triangle base.
