Nitrogen forms a diatomic molecule, or N2
Covalent bonds form between non-metals and non-metals
Ionic bonds form between non-metals and metals.
Because nitrogen is a non-metal and bonds with itself it forms a covalent bond.
Nitrogen gas (N2) and bromine liquid (Br2) are covalent. They react with each other to from NBr3 (nitrogen tribromide) which is also covalent.
