Electron pair Beverage cup structure for NH3 is illustrated by the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis dot arrangement for ammonia exhibits that the N atom connects 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 because of the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the N atom is enveloped by three points, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a hydrogen atom.
