nitrogen aton in NH3 has one lone pair of electron
Ammonia (NH3) primarily exhibits hydrogen bonding interactions due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. This allows NH3 to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules that have hydrogen atoms capable of bonding with the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.
bcz it has lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom tht is y it can donate an electron pair so it is lewis base
No, Nitrogen forms single bonds with the Hydrogens and has a lone pair of electrons attached to it. You should already know that hydrogen can only form single bonds. Eg: H | H-N-H . . the two dots represent the lone pair of electrons. ;)
NH3 is a good complexing agent because it can donate a lone pair of electrons to form coordinate covalent bonds with transition metal ions, forming stable complex compounds. The Lewis base nature of NH3 allows it to form coordination complexes with metal ions through dative bonding, enhancing their solubility and stability in solution. Additionally, NH3 can undergo ligand exchange reactions to form different coordination geometries, making it versatile in coordinating with various metal ions.
