According to valance bond theory, sp3 on N overlaps with 1s on H.
when we look at the detail of the valance bond theory, according to that, a covalent bond is formed between the two atoms when there is a overlap of half filled valence atomic orbitals of each atom that contain one electron that is unpaired.
