NH
3

and
three hydrogen molecules.
Electronic configuration of nitrogen (7) - 2,5.
Electronic configuration of hydrogen(1) - 1
Nitrogen needs three more electrons to complete its octet. So, the 3 hydrogen atoms share 1 electrons each with the nitrogen by
forming covalent bonds
and thus
NH
3
is formed.
