Lewis dot arrangement in the case of NH3 is illustrated by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis point structure for ammonia exhibits that the N atom joins one pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a complete of a trio shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the placement of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair dot arrangement.
In the Lewis symbol representation of ammonia, the N atom is enclosed by three points, each representing
a pair of shared electrons with a H atom.
