NH3
is a neutral molecule and has 10 (7+1+1+1) electrons. It has an even number of electrons, and according to the Pauli principle they are all paired up and it is a ground state singlet. Therefore the charge/multiplicity entry is 0 1. The molecule itself looks like:
From the Hint, you were told that you should draw a Newman projection of the 4-1-2-3 connectivity in order to determine the dihedral angle. You can see from the figure that the value of the dihedral angle = 200°.
