Lewis Structure Study StriverElectron pair dot structure in the case of ammonia is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for NH3 unveils that the N atom shares one pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three joined pairs of electrons.
The
NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form attributed to the placement of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair dot structure.
In the Lewis symbol representation of NH3, the N atom is surrounded by three dots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
