Q. The conect order of bond angles of ammonia, ammonium ion and amide are
Solution:
According to VSEPR theory repulsion between :
Lone pair-lone pair Lone pair-bond pair Bond pair-bond pair
As the repulsion is increases then bond angle is decreases.
Molecule
Lone pair
Bond pair
Bond angle
2
2
1
3
0
4
Therefore, the order of bond angle is
| Molecule | Lone pair | Bond pair | Bond angle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | ||
| 1 | 3 | ||
| 0 | 4 |
