Lewis dot arrangement
in the case of NH3 is depicted by the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot point structure for ammonia displays that the N atom shares a solitary pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three united pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like structure because of the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup structure.
In the dot dotpoint representation of ammonia, the N atom is enveloped by three points, each
representing a pair of united electrons with a hydrogen atom.
