In the space provided below draw electron dot diagram's for the following molecules: hydrogen gas, ammonia, and methane. remember that the dots represent the valence electrons. make sure that each atom in the molecules has eight valence electrons, except hydrogen, which only has two.

Valence electrons H2=2

Valence electrons NH3=8

Valence electrons CH4=8

The attached figure shows the electron structures of each compound.

Explanation:

The valence electrons of each molecule will be calculated first. And this is equal to the sum of the valence electrons of the atoms in the molecule.

Valence electrons H2=2*H=2*1=2

Valence electrons NH3=(1*N)+(3*H)=(1*5)+(3*1)=8

Valence electrons CH4=(1*C)+(4*H)=(1*4)+(4*1)=8

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
