MCQ
Why do the deviations occur from idealized shape of H2O and NH3 molecules?
- ASame hybridisation.
- BDifferent hybridisation.
- CRepulsive effect.
- DNone of these.
✓
Answer
- Repulsive effect.
Explanation:
Greater repulsion between lone pairs of electrons as compared to the lone pair- bond pair and bond pair-bond pair repulsions. These repulsive effects result in deviations from idealised shapes and alterations in bond angles in the molecules.
