Ammonia NH3 Molecule Shape Geometry Hybridization
Lewis Beverage cup arrangement for NH3 is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the N atom. The dot dot arrangement for NH3 exhibits that the nitrogen atom joins one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of three shared pairs of electrons. The ammonia molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Lewis Beverage cup arrangement. In the Lewis symbol representation of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enclosed by three spots, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a hydrogen atom.
