  • Ammonia Composition & Structure: Elements and Molecular Formula
    Chemical formula: NH3

    Chemical name: Ammonia

    Elements present:

    - Nitrogen (N)

    - Hydrogen (H)

    Ammonia structure:

    - It has a trigonal pyramidal structure with three hydrogen atoms bonded to a central nitrogen atom.

    - The covalent bonds in ammonia molecules are composed of one nitrogen atom sharing three pairs of electrons with three hydrogen atoms.

    - The nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons not involved in bonding, which gives the molecule its characteristic pyramidal shape and polarity.
