← ScienceWhich outcome arises due to asymmetric orbital hybridization in ammonia?
A)Non-zero electric dipole moment✓
B)Perfect tetrahedral bond angles
C)Free rotation around bonds
D)High conductivity of electrons
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric orbital hybridization causes a distortion in the electron distribution which results in separation of charge. A non-zero electric dipole moment arises because the lone pair creates an uneven distribution of electron density, therefore resulting in polarity, rather than perfect symmetry or increased conductivity.
