What type of hybridisation takes place in the N atom of NH3 ?

  • sp2

  • sp3

  • dsp2

  • sp


B.

sp3

In NH3 , the N atom contains one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs in its valence shell .So It shows sp3 hybridization .

Due to presence of one lone pair of electron , its shape deviate from tetrahedral because lone pair shows more repulsion than bond pairs .

As.

l.p - l.p. > l.p. - b.p. > b.p. - b.p.

So its shape is pyramidal and angle 107° .
