Q: What is the molecular geometry of NH3 according to VSEPR theory?
Solution:
NH3 has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, resulting in a trigonal pyramidal geometry.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the molecule. We are looking at NH3, which is ammonia.
Step 2: Count the number of atoms bonded to the central atom (Nitrogen). NH3 has three hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen.
Step 3: Count the lone pairs on the central atom (Nitrogen). In NH3, there is one lone pair on nitrogen.
Step 4: Use VSEPR theory to determine the shape. With three bonding pairs and one lone pair, the shape is trigonal pyramidal.
Step 5: Conclude that the molecular geometry of NH3 is trigonal pyramidal.
