  • Ammonium Ion (NH₄⁺) Lewis Structure: Explanation & Geometry
    In the ammonium ion (NH4+), the nitrogen atom is positively charged and has four equivalent bonds with four hydrogen atoms. The Lewis structure of NH4+ shows a central nitrogen atom with four single bonds to four hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the nitrogen atom, completing its valence shell. Overall, the ammonium ion has a tetrahedral molecular geometry with four equivalent N-H bonds.
