Many elements can form ionic and covalent bonds.With metals the non metals generally form ionic bonds- but with other non-metals they form covalent bonds. Examples:- The halogens (group 17) are covalent diatomic molecules, e.g. F2, Cl2 but generally form ionic compounds with metals . Oxygen forms ions, O2- in metallic oxides but bonds covalently to hydrogen in water nitrogen in ammonia, sulfur in H2S etc hydrogen forms the hydride ion in compounds such as LiH but bonds covalently in water and when bonded to carbon nitrogen forms the N3- ion in compounds such as Li3N but bonds covalently with oxygen in nitrogen dioxide.
The nitrogen atom forms 3 covalent bonds.
According to the HONC rule. Hydrogen can form one bond. Oxygen can form two bonds. Nitrogen can form three bonds. Carbon can form four bonds.
A nitrogen atom can form three bonds at most as it shows valency of three.
Are you asking what atoms can combine with nitrogen and form bonds? Lots: nitrogen can form bonds with other nitrogen atoms, forming N2 (which makes up 80% of the composition of the atmosphere). Nitrogen also commonly forms bonds with hydrogen (NH4 is ammonia), oxygen, carbon (CN- is cyanide). These are probably the most common ones, but Nitrogen can form bonds with many, many other atoms.

Nitrogen would have three bonds in order to fill its valence shell.
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds.

Nitrogen can form a maximum of three single covalent bonds, one with each of its three 2p electrons.
