Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis dot structure for ammonia displays that the nitrogen atom shares one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a overall of 3 shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form because of the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
