A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the NH3 Lewis Dot Structure (Ammonia).
For the NH3 structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the NH3 molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in NH3 we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom.
In the Lewis structure of NH3 structure there are a total of 8 valence electrons. NH3 is also called Ammonia.

---Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like NH3
1. Find the total valence electrons for the NH3 molecule.
2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside.
3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond.
4. Complete octets on outside atoms.
5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds.
Lewis Structures are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Ammonia. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension).
