【】How Many Valence Electrons Does NH3 (Ammonia) Have?||NH3 Valence Electrons

Answer:

Ammonia, NH3 , has eight valence electrons.

Explanation:

Today we are going to determine the valence electrons for NH3(Ammonia).




Step-1:


Nitrogen is the element of group VA.This means that nitrogen has five valence electrons.



On the other hand, hydrogen is the element of group IA.This means that hydrogen has one valence electrons.



Step-2:


For ,NH3


N → 5


3×H → 1×3=3


So, totally we have (8) eight valence electrons in NH3,five from nitrogen and three from three hydrogen atom.
