Structure of ammonia is
- A pyramidal
- B tetrahedral
- C trigonal
- D trigonal pyramidal
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) pyramidal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Structure of ammonia is pyramidal (Distorted
from tetrahedral to pyramidal due to repulsion
between lone pair and bond pair of electrons).
