35 Lewis Structures and Covalent Bonding Chemistry LibreTexts
Lewis dot structure for NH3 is portrayed by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom. The Lewis dot structure in the case of ammonia exhibits that the nitrogen atom joins 1 pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a overall of 3 united pairs of electrons. The ammonia molecule takes a three-sided pyramid-like structure attributed to the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement. In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three dots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a H atom.
