Electron pair Beverage cup structure for ammonia is depicted by the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot dot structure for ammonia exhibits that the N atom shares one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of 3 united pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a three-sided pyramid-like shape due to the placement of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three points, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a H atom.
