Question

What is the Lewis structure of NH3 ?

Open in App
Solution

The Lewis structure of ammonia, NH3, would be three hydrogen atoms bonded to a nitrogen atom in the middle, with a lone pair of electrons on top of the atom. This is the reason why ammonia acts as a Lewis base, as it can donate those electrons.
