Electron pair dot arrangement for ammonia is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot
point structure for NH3 displays that the N atom connects 1 pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of three connected pairs of electrons.
The ammonia molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like shape because of the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of NH3, the N atom is enveloped by three points, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a hydrogen atom.
