Answer #1

The one of these types with 1 lone pair

Examples NH3, PH3 etc have a molecular geometry of Trigonal pyramidal

With a bond angle of 109 degrees or less then that

If there is one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs the resulting molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (e.g. NH3)

  

ANSWER === PYRAMIDAL AND 109 °
