Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 EC=2,5.it has 5 valence electron so it needs 3 more electron to attain stabiltiy. So two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons resulting in the formation of a triple covalent bond.

Electronic configuration of nitrogen is 2,5.

A nitrogen atom requires three electrons to achieve octet configuration. Thus in a nitrogen molecule, two nitrogen atoms share three electrons from each of the atoms to attains octet configuration. Hence, three electron pairs are shared between two nitrogen atoms forming three covalent bonds. Hence, nitrogen is also called a trivalent compound.
