Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is illustrated by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot dot arrangement in the case of ammonia displays that the N atom joins 1 pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a overall of 3 connected pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal structure
attributed to the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the
nitrogen atom is enveloped by three points, each representing a pair of shared electrons with a hydrogen atom.
