Lewis dot arrangement for NH3 is depicted by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot dot structure in the case of ammonia unveils that the N atom connects one pair of electrons with each
of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a complete of a trio shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3
molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like shape due to the placement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three spots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a H
atom.
