Lewis Beverage cup arrangement in the case of NH3 is shown by the outer electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The dot point arrangement for ammonia displays
that the N atom shares 1 pair of e- with each of the three H atoms, resulting in a overall of three joined pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule takes a three-sided pyramid-like structure due to the arrangement of the outer electrons according to its Lewis dot structure.
In the dot dotpoint depiction of NH3, the N atom is enveloped by three spots, each representing a pair of united
electrons with a hydrogen atom.
