Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.5E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason should be explained for the pyramidal shape of ammonia is and bent shape of water.
Concept introduction: The three dimensional arrangement of atoms which constitute a molecule is said to be the molecular geometry which includes bond angles, bond lengths and the parameters that helps in determining the shape of each atom in a molecule.
In molecular geometry of a compound, the lone pair-lone pair repulsion is greater than bond pair-bond pair repulsion.
