Draw the Lewis electron structure for the molucule of ammomonium ion NH4 plus?

Answer 1

The dot structure for ammonium, or NH4 begins with a single N atom in the center. At each cardinal direction, there is one single bonded H atom. The entire structure is bracketed and noted with a + superscript.

Answer 2

Ammonium (NH4+) is made up of a Nitrogen atom (N) with five valence electrons and four Hydrogen atoms (H) with one valence electron per Hydrogen atom.

All four H atoms bond covalently with the N atom. There will be an extra electron that is not needed, as all of the valence shells have been filled - so, the NH4+ molecule will lose that electron to another molecule and gain a positive charge (with a total of nine protons and eight electrons, there is a +1 charge).

You can illustrate this bond like the one below:

Answer 3

Drawingæthe Lewis Dot Structure for the Nh4 equation first set up the 5 atoms with the N in the middle and 4 Hs above, under, left and right of the N.Then count the total valence of the electrons, draw single bonds between the bonds, put theærest of theæelectrons into side by side pairs, and make the atoms with octets are there.
