What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between N and H in ammonium ion, NH4+ ?

orbital on N   +    orbital on H


What is the approximate H-N-H bond angle ?

am i overcomplicating this or something?

is it sp^3 orbital on N + 1s orbital on H      with an approximate bond angle of 109?

In ammonia, H-N-H bond is ~107° due to the lone pairs.
