Nitrogen can form 3 covalent bonds and 1 coordinate bond.
Nitrogen is in group 5 and therefoe has 5 outer electrons. It can actually form 3 covalent bonds. For example: Ammonia (NH3)
In an Ammonium ion (NH4+):
The 4th bond is a dative or coordinate bond which results when the remining 'lone pair' of electrons is used to form another bond in which both electrons come from the nitrogen atom. When nitrogen forms 4 bonds an ion will be formed rather than a neutral molecule like ammonia.

How many covalent bonds does nitrogen normally form?
Nitrogen can form 3 covalent bonds. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. If nitrogen is to remain neutral complete the following equation number of valence = number of non-bonding electrons + (1/2) bonded electrons 5 = 2 + (1/2) 6
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.
How many covalent bonds of 1 atom of Nitrogen with positive net charge can form?
4
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."
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 does nitrogen form with no negative charge?
The nitrogen atom forms 3 covalent bonds.
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.
How many bonds would nitrogen make?
A nitrogen atom can form three bonds at most as it shows valency of three.
What atoms combined with nitrogen?
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.

How many bonds will nitrogen have to form to fill its outer energy level?
Nitrogen would have three bonds in order to fill its valence shell.
How many different kinds of covalent bonds can a nitrogen atom form?
Nitrogen can form single, double, and triple covalent bonds.

How many bonds can an atom form if it has an atomic number of 7 (nitrogen)?
Nitrogen can form a maximum of three single covalent bonds, one with each of its three 2p electrons.
How many covalent bonds does nitrogen normally form?
Nitrogen can form 3 covalent bonds. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. If nitrogen is to remain neutral complete the following equation number of valence = number of non-bonding electrons + (1/2) bonded electrons 5 = 2 + (1/2) 6
