Yes, nitrogen can form three covalent bonds. It has five valence electrons, three of which are unpaired. The three unpaired electrons can form covalent bonds.

What is the valency of nitrogen?

The valency of nitrogen is 3 or 5. It can form three covalent bonds in compounds such as ammonia (NH3), or five covalent bonds in compounds such as nitrate (NO3-).


How many number of covalent bonds can One atom of nitrogen with no net charge form?

One atom of nitrogen can form a maximum of three covalent bonds. This is because nitrogen has five valence electrons and it needs three more electrons to complete its octet and become stable.

3 covalent bonds can be formed by Nitrogen


Nitrogen has 7 electrons how many covalent bonds will if f?

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.


Number of bonds nitrogen can form?

3 in neutral molecules: e.g. 3 in ammonia (3 single N-H covalent bonds); 3 in a nitrogen molecule (a triple N-N covalent bond) However 2 electrons are not used in bonding, and these can form another covalent bond in which both electrons come from the nitrogen. This is a dative or coordinate covalent bond and will result in an ion e.g. ammonium ion, NH4+


How many covalent bonds of 1 atom of Nitrogen with positive net charge can form?

An atom of nitrogen typically forms 3 covalent bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration. However, with a positive net charge, it can form fewer bonds. With a net charge of +1, nitrogen could potentially form 2 covalent bonds, as it would have one less electron to share.


Number of covalent bonds in nitrogen?

Covalent bonds do not "make up" anything; they merely hold the atoms that carry the mass of the substance together. If the questioner means, "How many covalent bonds are in a nitrogen molecule with formula N2" the answer is "one triple covalent bond."
