Lewis dot arrangement for ammonia is shown by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis dot structure in the case of ammonia displays that the nitrogen atom joins 1 pair of e- with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a overall of 3 united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a three-sided pyramid-like shape attributed to the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair dot structure.
In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair of united electrons with a hydrogen atom.
