If we consider the ammonia molecule to be \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridized, the lone pair will occupy

A)  an s-orbital

B)  a p-orbital

C)  a\[s{{p}^{2}}-\]hybridized orbital

D)  a\[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridized orbital

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

: Pyramidal geometry of ammonia molecule resulting from\[s{{p}^{3}}\]hybridisation of valence shell orbitals of central N atom.
