Lewis structure of NH3 Root Memory
Lewis dot arrangement in the case of ammonia is shown by the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom. The Lewis point arrangement in the case of ammonia unveils that the N atom joins 1 pair of e- with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of three joined pairs of electrons. The NH3 molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal shape attributed to the arrangement of the valence electrons according to its Lewis dot structure. In the dot symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is surrounded by three spots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a H atom.
