Q: What is the hybridization of the central atom in NH3?
Solution:
The central nitrogen atom in NH3 is sp3 hybridized due to three bonding pairs and one lone pair.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in NH3, which is nitrogen (N).
Step 2: Count the number of bonds nitrogen forms with hydrogen atoms. NH3 has three hydrogen atoms, so there are three bonding pairs.
Step 3: Check for lone pairs on the nitrogen atom. Nitrogen has one lone pair of electrons.
Step 4: Add the number of bonding pairs (3) and lone pairs (1) together. This gives a total of 4 pairs.
Step 5: Determine the hybridization based on the total number of pairs. 4 pairs correspond to sp3 hybridization.
