What is the electron-domain geometry of ammonia (NH3)?
Tetrahedral
What is the molecular geometry of ammonia (NH3)?
Trigonal pyramidal
How many electron domains are around the central atom in ammonia (NH3)?
Four electron domains.
According to VSEPR theory, what shape do four electron domains arrange themselves into?
Tetrahedral.
What effect does the lone pair have on the molecular geometry of ammonia (NH3)?
It causes the molecular geometry to be trigonal pyramidal instead of tetrahedral.
In ammonia (NH3), which atoms form bonding pairs with the central nitrogen atom?
Three hydrogen atoms.
Why do the bonding pairs in ammonia (NH3) get pushed closer together?
Due to the repulsion from the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.
What is the total number of bonding pairs and lone pairs around the nitrogen atom in ammonia (NH3)?
Three bonding pairs and one lone pair.
