35 Lewis Structures and Covalent Bonding Chemistry LibreTextsElectron pair Beverage cup
structure for ammonia is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis dot structure for ammonia unveils that the N atom unites 1 pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a overall of three joined pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal form due to the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup structure.
In the Lewis dotpoint representation of ammonia, the N atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
