Please use the VSEPR theory to predict the shape of NH3 and the approximate bond angles

  1. The student should draw the lewis structure - this should be worked through using the whiteboard 2. From the lewis structure it can be identified that NH3 has 3 bonds and one lone pair of electrons 3. Therefore, the molecular shape is pyramidal (not tetrahedral) with bond angles of approx 107o
