Answer : The number of electrons shared between 1 nitrogen atom and 1 carbon atom are, Six.

Explanation :

Covalent bond : Covalent bonds are made by the sharing of valence electrons between the non-metal elements.

One covalent bond is formed by the sharing of two electrons.

In the given structure of compound, one nitrogen atom bonded with one carbon atom by three covalent bonds. That means the number of sharing electrons between the one nitrogen atom and one carbon atom are six.
