To determine the bond angle order for the species NH₄⁺, NH₃, and NH₂⁻, we need to analyze the molecular geometry and the effects of lone pairs on bond angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecular Geometry:** - **NH₄⁺ (Ammonium ion):** It has four hydrogen atoms bonded to a nitrogen atom with no lone pairs. The molecular geometry is tetrahedral. - **NH₃ (Ammonia):** It has three hydrogen atoms and one lone pair on the nitrogen atom. The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal. - **NH₂⁻ (Amide ion):** It has two hydrogen atoms and two lone pairs on the nitrogen atom. The molecular geometry is bent. ...
