Which of the following molecular shapes would have a bond angle of 180 Degrees?

• Bent

• Trigonal Planar

• Tetrahedral

• Linear

Why is the bond angle in NH₃ molecule is smaller than that in CH₄ molecule?

• Among the four electron pairs around the central atom N in NH₃

  molecule, there are two lone pairs which require more space than bonding pairs and tend to compress the angles between the bonding pairs.

• Among the four electron pairs around the central atom N in NH₃

  molecule, there is one lone pair which requires more space than a bonding pair and tends to compress the angles between the bonding pairs.

• Among the four electron pairs around the central atom N in NH₃

  molecule, there is one lone pair which requires less space than bonding pairs and tend to increase the angles between the bonding pairs.

• In reality, bond angle in NH₃ molecule is larger than that in CH₄ molecule.

Which structure consists of a giant lattice of cations and anions held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction?

• ionic bonding

• metallic bonding

• covalent bonding
