Answer:

The representation of two moles of ammonia is

2 N_{2}+3 H_{2} \rightarrow 2 N H_{3}

Explanation:

  • This shows that ammonia exists as diatoms. As it is known, Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer shell. Thus, nitrogen requires three more electrons to complete the octet structure, while hydrogen needs only 1 electron to become a stable atom.
  • To achieve this, nitrogen shares three of its electrons with three hydrogen atoms. This leaves two electrons as lone pair. Thus, an\mathrm{NH}_{3} molecule contains three N-H single covalent bonds and a single pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.
  • This separate pair of electrons of one \mathrm{NH}_{3} is shared with the lone pair of another \mathrm{NH}_{3} molecule to form a stable compound.
