Electron pair Beverage cup structure for ammonia is shown by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for NH3 exhibits
that the N atom joins one pair of e- with each of the three
hydrogen atoms, resulting in a overall of three united pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the
placement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the N
atom is surrounded by three dots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
