9 Covalent Bonding Chemistry LibreTextsLewis Beverage cup arrangement for ammonia is a representation of the outer electrons surrounding the N atom.
The Lewis point structure in the case of NH3 reveals that the N atom shares one pair of electrons with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a total of a trio shared pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a trigonal pyramidal shape attributed to the placement of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup structure.
In the dot symbol representation of ammonia, the nitrogen atom is enclosed
by three dots, each representing a pair of united electrons with a H atom.
