`overset(o+)(NH_(4))` has bond angle identical to `CH_(4)` but `NH_(3)` has different bond angle. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the bond angles in the ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) and methane (CH₄) are identical, while ammonia (NH₃) has a different bond angle, we can break down the explanation into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Draw the Lewis structures for NH₄⁺, CH₄, and NH₃. - NH₄⁺ has four hydrogen atoms bonded to a nitrogen atom. - CH₄ has four hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon atom. ...
