Lewis dot arrangement for ammonia is shown by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point structure in the case of NH3 unveils that the N atom unites 1 pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal shape attributed to the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot arrangement.
In the dot
dotpoint representation of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enveloped by three spots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a H atom.
