this is wrong statement that the electronegativity of N on Pauling scale is 3 in all the Nitrogen compound.
because electronegativity of any element is not constant. it varies depending on the element which it is bound. it is increases as the percentage of S - character of hybrid orbital increases or as the oxidation state of the element increases.

Answer:
Electronegativity is a variable property of any element. Electronegativity is different for different compounds. Hence the given statement “The electronegativity of Nitrogen on pauling scale measures 3.0 for all nitrogen compounds” is incorrect. Because the electronegativity of Nitrogen is different in NO2 and NH3.
