Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is
portrayed by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot dot arrangement for NH3 displays that the N atom joins one pair of e- with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of 3 connected pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like form due to the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair dot arrangement.
In the Lewis dotpoint representation of ammonia, the N atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair
of shared electrons with a H atom.
