Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of 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,
As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 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 :
Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
