Nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than hydrogen (H). Which of the following is a correct statement about the atoms in ammonia (NH3)?

a. Each hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge: the nitrogen atom has a partial negative charge.
b. Ammonia has an overall positive charge. Ammonia has an overall negative charge.
c. The nitrogen atom has a partial positive charge: each hydrogen atom has a partial negative charge.
d. There are covalent bonds between the hydrogen atoms and polar bonds between each hydrogen atom and the nitrogen atom

Respuesta :

The correct statement about the atoms in ammonia ( NH₃ ) is ; ( A ) Each hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge : the nitrogen atom has a partial negative charge

Since Nitrogen is more electronegative than hydrogen in ammonia each of the hydrogen atom will have a partial positive charge while the nitrogen atom will have a partial negative charge.

The type of bonding that exists in NH₃ is covalent bonding since Hydrogen and Nitrogen are both Non-metallic. while the bonding between hydrogen atoms is a dipole to dipole bonding and not completely a covalent bond.

Hence we can conclude that in NH₃ Each hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge while the nitrogen atom has a partial negative charge
