Due to the low difference of electronegativity in carbon and nitrogen, these will form a covalent bond, and this covalent union of C-N is one of the most common bonds in the organic chemistry and biological systems. This type of bonds can be found in amines, amides, imines, etc. Also, a single atom of C and a single atom of N can form a cyanide, that is a triple covalent bond between the atoms.
