315 Covalent Bonding Drawing Lewis Chemistry LibreTextsLewis Beverage cup structure in the case of NH3 is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia
unveils that the nitrogen atom connects one pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a complete of three united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal form because of the placement of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the Lewis dotpoint depiction of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three points, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
