Why are the bond angles in water and ammonia less than the ideal value of 109.5?

the lone pair causes the molecule to become "bent" which makes the bond angles less than 109.5

Why is ammonia gas not collected over water?
Because ammonia is quite soluble in water, so that not all of the gas produced could be collected over water.
What is the solute and solvent in household ammonia?
Ammonia is the solute and the solvent is the water.
Why when ammonia gas is bubbled into water the solution has such a high pH value?
it because of the ammonium ion form in the solution. Ammonium solution is an alkaline.
Why is ammonia more soluble in water than phosphine?
This is because in ammonia there is a nitrogen atom (with a high electronegativity value) that has a lone pair of electronsavailable to form a hydrogen bond with the hydrogen atoms in water. On the other hand although the Phosphorous atom has a lone pair of electrons, it doesn't have a high enough electronegativity value to form a strong hydrogen bond.
Is ammonia mlecule NH3 more polar than water molecule?
no, water is more polar than ammonia.
What is the solvent of ammonia water?
Water is the solvent. Ammonia is the solute.
Can you collect ammonia over water?
Not very efficiently, because ammonia dissolves so easily in water due to compatible intermolecular attractions between ammonia and water.
What is the pH value of ammonia?
Ammonia is a gas that is highly soluble in water. When in solution with water, ammonia becomes ammonium hydroxide, which is strongly basic. The pH of the solution depends on the concentration of ammonium hydroxide, temperature, etc. I happen to think its about 11.5 Dude, yer wrong - its 11.6 definitely.
What freezes faster water or ammonia?
Water freeze before ammonia. Ammonia need high pressure to freeze.
Why is ammonia gas not collected over water?
Because ammonia is quite soluble in water, so that not all of the gas produced could be collected over water.
What is house ammonia?
Houshold ammonia is a solution of ammonia (3%) dissolved in water.
Which is more soluble in water ammonia or nitrogen?
Ammonia
What is mean by Liquid ammonia?
Ammonia gas is highly soluble in water. one ml. of water may absorbed hundreds mls. of ammonia, the concentrated aqueous solution of ammonia is known as liquid ammonia.
What is the solute and solvent in ammonia water?
Ammonia would be the solute and water would be the solvent.
Is water aqueous or liquid?
"Th confusuing thing is . . . ." the previous answer. In chem, H2O is a liquid.
Is Ammonia heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures?
Ammonia is a compound, not a mixture. Household ammonia is a homogeneous mixture of ammonia and water.
What is the difference between ammonia and anhydrous ammonia and ammonium hydroxide?
Anhydrous ammonia is really just ammonia in fact. "Anhydrous" means without water, and anhydrous ammonia is just pure ammonia without water.It is to distinguish it from ammonia in water solutions because when added to water ammonia forms ammonium hydroxide:NH3 + H2O ---> NH4+ + OH-Ammonium hydroxide is frequently referred to as ammonia because you make it by adding ammonia to water, but it isn't really ammonia. It is much more commonly though because it is easier to handle (ammonia is a gas).See the Web Links for more information about ammonia.
