Lewis Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot dot structure in the case of ammonia displays that the nitrogen atom shares a solitary pair of e- with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a complete of three shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3
molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like form because of the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three points, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
