The number of electrons that are present in the outermost shell of an atom ie; free electrons are called valence electrons. These valence electrons take part in a bond formation b… See more

As per the octet rule, the maximum number of valence electrons that can be drawn around the symbol of an atom is eight. The Lewis structure of NH3 is made in such a manner tha… See more

The Lewis structure of nitrogen and hydrogen atom shows a total of eight valence electrons participating in a bond formation, to produce a single tetra-atomic NH3 molec… See more

The bond angle among the hydrogen-nitrogen-hydrogen atoms (H-N-H) is 107°. It is clear to understand that the geometrical structure of NH3 will be bent. It is explained with the hel… See more

The bond between each nitrogen and hydrogen atom is covalent and made up of sigma (σ) bonds only and no pi (π) bonds. As we know, pi (π) bonds are present only in the doubl… See more
