Use the periodic table to answer the question.
An illustration shows the periodic table of elements. The elements in the periodic table are arranged in groups (columns numbered 1 through 18) and periods (rows numbered 1 through 7) such that the atomic number increases along a period from left to right. The elements are divided into the following categories: · Alkali metals · Alkaline earth metals · Transition metals · Post-transition metals · Lanthanides · Actinides · Metalloids · Nonmetals · Noble gases · Unknown The elements are also classified on the basis of their physical states as follows: · Solid · Liquid · Gas · Unknown The element sulfur is enlarged with the following properties. · Chemical symbol: S · Name: Sulfur · Atomic Number: 16 · Atomic mass: 32.06 · Common oxidation states: 6, 4, 2, negative 2 · Electronegativity: 2.58 · Ionization energies: 999.589 · Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s2 3p4
In the compound NH3, how are the atoms likely bonded to one another?

In the compound NH3 (ammonia), the bonding occurs through covalent bonding. Each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the nitrogen atom.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**Nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen.**
Therefore, the correct response is:
**Nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen.**

I apologize for any confusion; let’s clarify the bonding in NH3.
In ammonia (NH3), nitrogen shares one of its electrons with each of the three hydrogen atoms, which results in a total of three shared pairs of electrons. This means nitrogen has three covalent bonds with hydrogen.
To be more precise with the original options provided:
- **Each hydrogen shares two electrons with nitrogen.** (Incorrect, each shares one.)
- **Nitrogen donates one electron to each hydrogen.** (Incorrect, it shares.)
- **Each hydrogen donates its one electron to nitrogen.** (Incorrect, they share.)
- **Nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen.** (Correct, as noted.)
So, the correct and best phrasing from your options is indeed:
**Nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen.**
If there was any misunderstanding in the question or context, please provide additional details, and I’ll be glad to assist!

Thank you for your patience. I see the confusion now.
To clarify:
In the ammonia (NH3) molecule, each hydrogen atom shares one electron with nitrogen, and nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen atom, resulting in a covalent bond.
The phrase "Each hydrogen shares two electrons with nitrogen" suggests that hydrogen would have to contribute or receive two electrons, which does not accurately represent the bonding in NH3, as hydrogen forms only single bonds and can only accommodate two electrons total (one bond).
The correct way to describe the bonding in NH3 is that nitrogen forms three single covalent bonds with three hydrogen atoms, where each hydrogen shares one electron with nitrogen.
Therefore, my original answer of "Nitrogen shares one electron with each hydrogen" accurately represents the chemical bonding in NH3.
If "Each hydrogen shares two electrons with nitrogen" is being presented as an answer, it may have been incorrectly framed, as it is not how covalent bonding operates with hydrogen.
