The molecular geometry of NHI₂ (where nitrogen is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one iodine atom) is trigonal pyramidal. This shape arises due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, which pushes the bonded hydrogen and iodine atoms downwards. The bond angles are slightly less than 109.5 degrees due to this lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
