The bond angle in the regular tetrahedral geometry (for hybrid orbitals) is _________. In ammonia, whereas the actual bond angle due to lone pair distortion is _________.
107°, 109.5°
104.5°, 107°
109.5°, 107°
109.5°, 104.5°
The bond angles in ammonia is less than 109.5° because of the stronger repulsion by their lone pairs of electrons. The bond angle in ammonia is less than the standard 109.5°. The bond angle is 107°.
