Question

The difference between number of shared electrons and unpaired electrons in nh3 is

Answer 1

HELLO THERE!

Let's analyze the given question. The formula is NH₃.

There are no unpaired electrons. N has one lone pair and three electrons of N are shared to three hydrogen atoms, so there are 6 shared electrons.

So, the difference is 6 - 0 = 6.

Ammonia has a pyramidal shape. Thanks!
