Detailed Solution

In Ammonia, the central atom Nitrogen has three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons with pyramidal geometry and bond angle as 107°481 .  In this case Nitrogen atom undergoes sp3  hybridization.

                                     Question Image

In Ammonia central atom ‘N’ undergoes  sp3  hybridization means bond angle is  109°28'  but it changes from  109°28'  to 107°48'  due to lone pair and bond pair repulsion on ‘N’ in  NH3 .
