VALENCY of NITROGEN
Accepted Answer
Nitrogen has a valency of three, meaning that it can form three covalent bonds with other atoms. This is because nitrogen has five valence electrons, which are the outermost electrons in an atom that participate in chemical bonding. In most of its compounds, nitrogen exhibits a valency of three, but it can also exhibit valencies of two, four, and five in some compounds.
