Electron pair dot arrangement for NH3 is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis point arrangement for NH3 reveals that the N atom connects 1 pair of e- with each of the three H
atoms, resulting in a total of a trio joined pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape because of the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the N atom is
enveloped by three spots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a H atom.
