Detailed Solution

For NH2,NH3,NH4+Molecular geometry (i.e., shape) is different.

(NH2-)azanide ion has bent molecular geometry and tetrahedral electronic structure, it is having two lone pairs. A central Nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms to form the NH2- ion. Nitrogen and hydrogen can only form single bonds with one another.


NH3 molecule has the triangular pyramid or deformed tetrahedral structure.

 

The core nitrogen atom of ammonium, NH4+, is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. Its molecular form and electron geometry are both tetrahedral.

 

Hence,for NH2,NH3,NH4+Molecular geometry (i.e., shape) is different.
