How many bonds does nitrogen have to form with oxygen to create nitrous oxide?

It is very difficult to describe the bonding in nitrous oxide using a simple valency model. It consists of two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
You can say that each nitrogen atom has a double bond with the other nitrogen atom, and one of the nitrogen atoms has a double bond with the oxygen atom, but that requires putting charges on some of the atoms. You need to invoke the ideas of delocalization or resonance if you wish to describe it accurately.

What happens when a hydrogen atom covalently bonds to one oxygen or nitrogen atom is attracted to another oxygen or nitrogen atom?
hyrdrogen bonds.
Does nitrous oxide explode?
Nitrous oxide doesn't 'explode' by itself, it does however support combustion as it has weak bonds and 33% oxygen.
What kind of bonds do the atoms in molecules of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas held together?
Oxygen and Nitrogen are both nonmetals so they would form covalent bonds.
In neutral molecules how many bonds are commonly formed by nitrogen and separately how many by oxygen?
3 bonds are commonly formed by nitrogen and 2 are commonly formed by oxygen.
How many covalent bonds do Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen and Hydrogen form in a protein?
Carbon will form four covalent bonds, nitrogen will form three covalent bonds, oxygen will form two covalent bonds, and hydrogen will form one covalent bond. Click on the related link to see a diagram showing the structure of an amino acid.

What type of chemical bond does nitric acid have?
Nitric acid, HNO3 has covalent bonds. Two nitrogen-oxygen single bonds, one nitrogen-oxygen double bond and an oxygen-hydrogen single bond. There is a formal +1 charge on the nitrogen center, and a formal -1 charge on the single-bonded oxygen without the hydrogen atom.
What chemicals use hydrogen bonds?
