Answer: 3
Explanation:
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons but it bounds with other elements by using 3 of them only.This is because Nitrogen do not contain d-orbitals like phosphorus to gain extra electrons that will be gained by making more than 3 bonds.
As valency of an element is the number of electrons used by it during molecule of element or molecule of compound formation, valency of nitrogen is always 3.
