Questions  

Why do the deviations occur from idealised shape of H2O and NH3 molecules?

a
Same hybridisation
b
Different hybridisation
c
Repulsive effect
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Greater repulsion between lone pair of electrons as compared to the lone pair- bond pair and bond pair-bond pair repulsions. These repulsive effects result in deviations from idealised shapes and alterations in bond angles in the molecules.
