NH3 (Ammonia) electron geometry is “Tetrahedral” but its molecular geometry is “Trigonal Pyramidal”. The best way to figure this out is to draw the Lewis structure. For the NH3 Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons for the NH3 molecule (NH3 has 8 valence electrons, 5 from N and 3 from three H’s). After determining how many valence electrons there are in NH3, place them around the central atom to complete the octets. Be sure to use the number of available valence electrons you found earlier. Hydrogen (H) atoms always go on the outside of a Lewis structure.
replace the dots between N and H:
the H atoms are being pushed down by the electron pair on top and have an approximate bond angle of 109.5 degree. This results in a pyramid shape with N being at the peak and three H’s on the corners.
