Ammonia NH3 Molecule Shape Geometry HybridizationLewis Beverage cup arrangement for ammonia is illustrated by the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia unveils that the N atom shares 1 pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a complete of three joined pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape because of the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the N atom is encircled by three dots, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a hydrogen atom.
