The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. As it can be seen that nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than that of hydrogen (H),
So electron pairs are attracted towards nitrogen and thus it carries a partial negative charge and hydrogen carries a partial positive charge. The image of electron distribution is attached as follows.
Thus NH₃ is a polar molecule .
