According to the VSEPR model, the electron pairs around NH₃ and those around CH₄ are arranged

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR model predicts that the electron pairs around a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes electron-electron repulsion. In both NH3 and CH4, the central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs. These electron pairs will adopt a tetrahedral arrangement in both cases, regardless of the number of atoms around the central atom or the period in which the central atom is located.
