Electron pair Beverage cup structure for ammonia is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia exhibits that the N atom shares 1 pair of e- with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of a trio connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form because of the placement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three points, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a H atom.
