NH3 Lewis Structure Geometry and Hybridization
Electron pair dot arrangement for NH3 is
a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot point structure in the case of ammonia reveals that the N atom unites one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a complete of 3 connected pairs
of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a three-sided pyramid-like form attributed to the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of ammonia, the N atom is surrounded by three dots, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a H atom.
