Electron pair dot structure in the case of ammonia is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis dot structure for NH3 reveals that the nitrogen atom joins a solitary pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal structure because of the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the Lewis symbol depiction of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three spots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
