Explanation:
Since, the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain 3 electrons.
Hence, when it chemically combines another nitrogen atom then as both the atoms are non-metals. So, sharing of electrons will take place.
Also, there is no difference in electronegativity of two nitrogen atoms. Hence, compound formed is non-polar covalent in nature.
