Lewis Beverage cup arrangement in the case of ammonia is illustrated by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point structure for ammonia unveils that the N atom connects 1 pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a complete of three connected pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form due to the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the Lewis dotpoint representation of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three points, each representing a pair of united electrons with a hydrogen atom.
