Electron pair Beverage cup structure for ammonia is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for NH3 reveals that the nitrogen atom joins a solitary pair of e- with each of
the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a complete of three connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like structure because of the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the Lewis symbol depiction of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three points, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a H atom.
