According to valence bond theory,

CH_(4),NH_(3)

, and

H_(2)O

are all hybridized. This hybridization results in a electron group configuration with a bond angle.

NH_(3)

and

H_(2)O

deviate from this idealized bond angle because their lone electron pairs exist in their own

?

orbitals. The presence of lone pairs lowers the tendency for the central atom to hybridize. As a result, the bond angle moves from the hybrid angle toward the unhybridized angle.
