The bond angles between two N-H bonds in ammonia are close to the bond angles characteristic of a tetrahedron, but the molecule as a whole is not a tetrahedron because one of the four bonds to a central atom found in an actual tetrahedral molecule is missing; there are only three hydrogen atoms bound to a central nitrogen atom in ammonia. In an ammonium ion, however, the tetrahedron is complete.

The shape of the methane molecule is called?
tetrahedral l
What is the molecular shape of CF2Cl2?
the shape is tetrahedral good luck
Is NH4 linear?
No. First of all, NH2- is an ion, not a molecule. Second, it has a bent geometry, similar to that of a water molecule.
How many structures are possible for a tetrahedral molecule with a formula of AHXYZ?
2 structures are possible for a tetrahedral molecule with a formula of AHXYZ.
What is the shape of ammonia?
Ammonia is pyramidal shape. It is a basic gas.
How many atoms are needed for a molecule to have a tetrahedral geometry?
Four. Ammonia (NH3) is an example.
What is the geometry of the molecule NH3 is?
The molecule of ammonia has a trigonal pyramidal shape with angles of 106,7 0.
Which molecule has a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs but is not a tetrahedral molecule?
Water

What is the Molecule shape of CH4?
Molecular shape is tetrahedral.It has no lone pairs.
What is the shape of a molecule of cH4?
tetrahedral
What is the experimental bond angle for ammonia?
Bond angles in various molecules tend to be as big as possible and therefore we would expect a bond angle of 120°. Ammonia, however, is a permanent dipole and therefore acts like it owns a 4th hydrogen atom. Ammonia more or less acts like a tetrahedral molecule. This phenomena occurs in water as well. The theoretical bond angle for a tetrahedral molecule would be 109.5°, but in ammonia it's a little lower, the experimental bond angle of ammonia is 107°. This is because of the additional repulsive force of the electron pair occupying the "fourth" spot of the tetrahedron.
