Question

The pyramidal geometry is associated with (A) CH 4 (B) NH 3 (C) H 2 O (D) CO 2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

NH 3 is s p3 hybridised with one lone pair, hence possesses pyramidal geometry due to repulsion by lone pair. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/38c7ebd31e23682a616e39e2385d79b6-.png" />

Q. The pyramidal geometry is associated with

$C H_{4}$

$N H_{3}$

$H_{2} O$

$C O_{2}$

$N H_{3}$ is $s p^{3}$ hybridised with one lone pair, hence possesses pyramidal geometry due to repulsion by lone pair.
