Electron pair dot structure for NH3 is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis dot structure in the
case of NH3 displays that the nitrogen atom joins one pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of a trio united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape attributed to the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Lewis dot arrangement.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of ammonia, the N atom is enclosed by three spots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
