Electron pair dot structure in the case of ammonia is a representation of the valence electrons surrounding the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis dot arrangement for NH3 unveils that the N atom shares 1 pair of electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a total of 3 united pairs of electrons.
The NH3 molecule adopts a three-sided pyramid-like structure because of the distribution of the valence electrons according to its Electron pair Beverage cup arrangement.
In the dot symbol representation of ammonia, the N atom is enveloped by three spots, each representing a pair of connected electrons with a hydrogen atom.
