The correct H-N-H bond angle in NH₃ is ________ A) the same as the H-O-H angle in water. B) exactly 109.5$\degree$. C) greater than 109.5$\degree$. D) less than 109.5°. E) 120°.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The H-N-H bond angle in NH₃ is approximately 107°, which is less than the tetrahedral angle of 109.5° due to the presence of a lone pair on nitrogen that repels the bonding pairs, compressing the bond angle.
