Electron pair Beverage cup structure for ammonia is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia reveals that the N atom connects one pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a overall of a trio joined pairs of electrons.
The NH3
molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal form due to the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair dot structure.
In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is encircled by three spots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
