NH₃ - Ammonia:

First draw the Lewis dot structure:

Electron geometry: tetrahedral. Hybridization: sp³

Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:


The molecular geometry of NH₃ is trigonal pyramidal with asymmetric charge distribution on the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is polar.
