Electron pair dot arrangement in the case of NH3 is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The
Lewis dot arrangement for NH3 reveals that the N atom connects one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a complete of three united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like form due to the placement of the
valence electrons according to its Electron pair dot structure.
In the Lewis symbol depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three dots, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
