Hello, welcome to QuestionCove o: May you please add the answer choices?

Vocaloid:

I don't feel like digging up the answer choices but I can still provide some pointers on this use the periodic table to calculate the total # of electron pairs for 1 nitrogen atom + 3 hydrogen atoms from there, put N in the center (it's the most electronegative), and connect the N to the three H atoms with three separate electron pairs. any remaining pairs should go onto the central nitrogen.
