Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is shown by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis dot structure for
ammonia unveils that the nitrogen atom connects one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a overall of three connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like shape due to the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot symbol depiction of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three points, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a H atom.
