Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement in the case of ammonia is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot dot arrangement in the case of NH3
exhibits that the N atom unites a solitary pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the distribution of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a
H atom.
