The compound Ammonia is made up of one Nitrogen, and 3 Hydrogen.
On the periodic table I see that Nitrogen has 7 protons, and 7 electrons. I also see that each Hydrogen has 1 proton, and 1 electron.
I am told that Ammonia is held together through a Covelant Bond. My question is: how does this work?
My only guess is that Nitrogen has 6 electrons in its 1st electron cloud, and only 1 in its 2nd. This would make it want more, correct? Also Hydrogen only has 1. This would make it want more correct?
Please clerify this if you can.![]()
