Question

13. Nitrogen (n0 s more clectronegative than hydrogen (H). which of the following is a correct statement about t atoms in ammonia INH3 A Each hydrogen atom has a partial pasitive charge; the nitrogen atom has a partial negative charge . Ammonia has an overall positive charge C Ammonia has an overall negative charge D. The nitrogen atom has a partial positive charge, each hydrogen atom has a partial negative charge. E. There are covalent bonds between the hydrogen atoms and polar bonds between each hydragen atom and the

Explanation / Answer

A.) Each hydrogen atom has partial positive charge; nitrogen atom has partial negative charge.

This is because in a covalent molecule with unequal electronegativity they tend to develop partial negative charge and partial positive charge. This brings polarity of the molecule.
