    Which one is the correct representation of\[NH_{4}^{+}\]ion?

    A) \[\left( \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-N\to H}}}\, \right)\]       

    B) \[\left( \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-N\leftarrow H}}}\, \right)\]

    C) \[\left( \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \uparrow  \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  \downarrow  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H\to N-H}}}\, \right)\]       

    D) \[\left( \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \downarrow  \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  \uparrow  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H\leftarrow N\to H}}}\, \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The correct representation of\[NH_{4}^{+}\]ion is           \[\left[ H-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N}}}\,\to H \right]\] This is because nitrogen\[(N{{H}_{3}})\]contains a lone pair of electron and donates it to\[{{H}^{+}}\]ion through coordinate bond.
