Why is the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule is more polar than the bond between hydrogen and nitrogen in a ammonia molecule?

Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen does, so when sharing electrons with hydrogen, the sharing is more uneven in the case of oxygen than it is with nitrogen. Oxygen, in other words, will attract electrons more strongly than nitrogen does and therefore will wind up with a more negative charge (hydrogen, which supplies the extra electrons to the oxygen, has a correspondingly higher positive charge).

Why is ammonia a gas at room temperature?
Ammonia has a nitrogen with a lone pair and three hydrogens, so shouldn't there be extensive hydrogen bonding between molecules? I mean one hydrogen would attach to a nitrogen from ammonia and the next one would attach to another nitrogen from ammonia, etc
What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia NH3 molecule?
106
Does nitrogen form ionic or covalent bonds with hydrogen?
The bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen are covalent. They make several compounds including ammonia and hydrazine.
What is the attraction between molecules of ammonia?
Nitrogen and Hydrogen have high electro negativity difference.So they can form hydrogen bonds.
Ammonia involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and thre hydrogen atoms what type of bonding does ammonia have?
Ammonia's bonding is a polar covalent bond.
What molecule is formed between small amounts of hydrogen and nitrogen?
This molecule is ammonia - NH3.
How many hydrogen bonds can ammonia molecule forms?
Intramolecular forces; Hydrogen bonds occur in ammonia between the nitrogen and the hydrogen, NH3.Intermolecular forces:Hydrogen bonding between molecules occurs between the electronegative nitrogen atom (N) of one molecule of ammonia and an electropositive hydrogen atom (H) bonded to a nitrogen of different molecule of ammonia.
What describes the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen?
Polar covalent bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms Polar covalent bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.
Ammonia (NH3) involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What type of bonding does ammonia have?
Ammonia (NH3) involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What type of bonding does ammonia have?
