NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations correctly describes bond angles and molecular shapes based on lone pair and bond pair interactions?
NH3 has a bond angle of 107° and a pyramidal shape; H2O has a bond angle of 104.5° and a bent shape.
NH3 has a bond angle of 109.5° and a bent shape; H2O has a bond angle of 107° and a pyramidal shape.
H2O has a bond angle of 120° and a linear shape; NH3 has a bond angle of 109.5° and a trigonal planar shape.
NH3 has a bond angle of 104.5° and a linear shape; H2O has a bond angle of 107° and a pyramidal shape.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
NH3 has a bond angle of 107° due to lone pair-bond pair repulsion, resulting in a pyramidal shape, while H2O has a bond angle of 104.5° and a bent shape, also influenced by lone pair interactions.
