Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

How many “p” orbital in principal energy level below?​
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. A set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. Therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
