Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule in the VA family on the periodic table. Nitrogen has five valence electrons, so it needs three more valence electrons to complete its octet. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.

In nitrogen molecule, non-polar type of covalent bond is formed.
Explanation:
- A covalent bond is defined as the bond formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms. For example, the atomic number of a nitrogen atom is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5.
- So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain three electrons by sharing with another nitrogen atom. Hence, it will lead to the formation of compound.
- As the electronegativity of both the nitrogen atoms is same. Therefore, it will be a non-polar covalent compound. A polar covalent compound is defined as a compound whose atoms have high difference in electronegativity and are combined to each other through sharing of electrons.
