  1. So, which atom is in need of those lone pair electrons?
  2. That's what we call when we have three bonding atoms and one lone pair.
  3. So how many lone pair electrons do we have?
  4. So if we take a look at nitrogen here, what you 'll notice is we have thre available for bonding, - and we already have our lone pair & one of our orbitals is already filled up.
  5. So it looks a lot less messy if we just draw our Lewis structure like this for h c n, where we have h bonded to c triple bonded to n, and then a lone pair on the nitrogen there.
