Géométrie des molécules NH3 ; HCl ; CH4 ; C2H4 FreeLewis Beverage cup structure in the case of ammonia is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the N atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia exhibits that the nitrogen atom unites 1 pair of e- with each of
the three H atoms, resulting in a total of 3 connected pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like structure due to the distribution of the valence electrons according to
its Lewis dot arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is surrounded by three spots, each representing a pair of joined electrons with a hydrogen atom.
