A) presence of two lone pairs in \[{{H}_{2}}O\] molecule
B) presence of three lone pairs in \[{{H}_{2}}O\] molecule
C) presence of two lone pairs in \[N{{H}_{3}}\] molecule
D) high electronegativity of oxygen atom
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The shape of ammonia molecule is trigonal pyramidal due to repulsion between\[lp-bp\] (which is more than \[bp-bp\] repulsion). Thus, the and between the bond pairs in ammonia is reduced to \[{{107}^{o}}\] from\[{{109.5}^{o}}\].You need to login to perform this action.
