Want this question answered?
There are four electron pairs. But there is only one lone pair.
there are three N-H bonds in ammonia and hence ammonia has three bonded pairs of electrons in addition, there is one lone pair of electrons on nitrogen
Lone-pair electrons, Bonded pairs of electrons
ONE!
There is one lone pair of electrons in a molecule of ammonia: The single nitrogen atom in the molecule has five valence electrons; one of these is in a covalent bond with each of the three hydrogen atoms; and the remaining two valence electrons from the nitrogen atom constitute a lone pair.
One lone pair. The central atom is N (nitrogen) which has 5 valence electrons. Three of them are shared with 3 hydrogen atoms, leaving 2 electrons (1 lone pair) on the N.
one lone pair of electrons
These pairs of electrons are referred to as lone pairs.
Four pairs of electrons. Neon has a full octet.
Such pairs of electrons are called as lone pairs.
Ammonia NH3 one lone pair on Nitrogen, Water H2O two lone pairs on Oxygen.
There are four electrons, which is two pair.
