A molecule is the neutral particle formed when?
A molecule is the neutral particle formed when electrons are shared between atoms. The charge is neutral when electrons are shared, negative when they gain electrons, and positive when they lose electrons.

What is the number of shared pairs of electrons in a molecule of NH3?
There are three bonds between Nitrogen and hydrogen and there are thus 3 shared bonding pairs of electrons. in addition since Nitrogen is 1s22s22p3 there are also the none bonding 1s2 electrons and the 2s2 electrons making 5 total shared pairs of electrons.
