Detailed Solution

The total number of hydrogen bonds in ammonia (chemical symbol NH3) is constrained since each nitrogen has just one electron pair shared with the one hydrogen. The hydrogen bond cannot be formed in the ammonia molecule group with just a single pair of electrons. As a result of ammonia flipping, the hydrogen bond in ammonia is not specified.
